“This 15-year-old disabled child was detained from a room. How can this child be a goon? How can he set fire? How can this disabled child take part in vandalism? You should probe it and try it. Why was this child detained instead of real criminals? We want answers. I am haplessly poor; we don’t have money. We live on a daily income.”
