9-month old baby granted bail for attempted murder case

A nine-month-old boy charged with attempted murder in Pakistan has been granted bail. The toddler, Muhammad Mosa Khan, was arrested in February along with family members for allegedly throwing stones at police during a raid in Lahore. The residents reportedly failed to pay for electricity. Police arrested the toddler, took his fingerprints, and was made to sit on his grandfather’s lap while in court. Although the judge noted the absurd nature of the case and quickly granted bail for the toddler, he cannot dismiss the case against him. The police officer who arrested the child has reportedly been suspended. The boy’s grandfather told Reuters, “He doesn’t even know how to pick up his milk bottle properly. How can he stone the police?”
