As many comments have pointed out, no kids are locked up. The police went to their school and questioned them. I am not debating whether it is wrong or immoral to question minors without their parents present or the nature of the charges, However, no child is arrested, charged, locked up, booked or entered into justice system in any way. The article is click-bait and an appeal to emotion, not facts.


The fact that children are targeted by police for mocking the prime minister in a school play should appeal to your emotions. It's disgusting.


It does, but headlines like these are a distraction from the actual facts. All it takes is a series of half-truths to form a false narrative that doesn't serve anyone constructively. With an ineffective law enforcement, parts of India are like a tinderbox waiting to go off as people act on emotions.


If the headline suggest children are 'LOCKED UP' when they actually are not, that misrepresentation is disgusting in itself.
