A police officer was surprised to discover that one of the suspects in a bus robbery he was investigating was a 3-month-old boy, in the eastern Indian state of Bihar.
The boy, Parveen Kumar, had been listed along with his father on an initial charge sheet after a bus driver was robbed of his fares in the remote village of Muzzafarpur, said local superintendent of police Rattan Sajai.
The baby had been charged with robbery, extortion and banditry, he said.
The robbery occurred on Sept. 19, but the fact that a prime suspect was a newborn only came to light recently when police launched their investigation, Sanjai said.
Police blamed the bus driver, saying he reported the infant as a conspirator because of a personal grudge he had with the father.
The charges against the child have since been dropped.
