Under the law, similar to the one in UP, the child if found guilty could be ordered to pay compensation to his neighbour. It will happen without a formal criminal investigation that requires a police investigation, a prosecution and a trial before a proper court that follows procedures and offers safeguards under IPC.
Dear Readers,
We at The Reporters' Collective are able to do such investigative journalism because we are funded by citizens and not businesses and governments.
But as this year comes to an end we stand on a financial cliff.
Without generous donations we may not survive into the new year. Please consider donating to keep us going. Our small but courageous team needs you to back it up.
