New Delhi: An interesting case has come to light from Etawah in Uttar Pradesh where an 11-year-old boy approached the city police station with a complaint against his father. The officer present on duty filmed the complaint which went viral.

The angry child wanted police to teach his father a lesson for not taking him to the exhibition in the city despite repeated requests.

The video that has become viral on social media shows the angry boy complaining and a calm and composed police officer asking him several questions to know about his ordeal.

What followed was really not just interesting but also a noble effort by the UP Police. The police team accompanied the boy to his home and counselled his father.
