12-year-old Sikh boy arrested in US for bomb joke
A Facebook post written by Armaan Singh Sarai’s cousin said “a bully in class thought it would be funny to accuse him of having a bomb, and so the principal, without any questioning, interrogation, or notification to his parents, called the police”.
“Worried & frightened at home, his family was concerned as to why he had not reached home right after school. They started calling every police department in the area, only to find out he was sent to a juvenile facility."
"They kept him held behind bars for three consecutive days,” Sarai’s cousin Ginee Haer wrote in the post, shared by around 8,000 people on Facebook by Friday morning.
