It was bitterly funny to read uninformed Pakistani comments.
First, the young girl was not charged; she was running along with her brother. The police clearly visibly are not interfering with her, although she should nt have been there at all.
The youngster was not handcuffed. Please look at the contrasting picture of Pakistani detenus in police custody. Indian courts discourage any humiliation or degradation of prisoners under trial. It is another matter that the sheer pressure of numbers leads to measures of desperation by the jail or the police authorities.
The magistrate refused police remand. Quite rightly. Children who are not majors are not permitted to be detained at police stations, even those who have put themselves in harm's way. He was correctly assigned to a juvenile detention centre.
Fourth, the charges were not trivial. Nevertheless from the accounts published and the picture visible, it is clear that the police acted in a restrained, lawful manner. The parents were nowhere in the picture but had shoved their daughter into the fray. One can but wonder at such parenting. However, the police clearly felt the need for the youngster to be given the most mental and psychological support, and the lawyer is clearly visible shepherding the boy along - as prominent as the detaining authorities themselves, rather than being prevented from accessing his client, or denying the boy the mental props he needed as the consequences of his actions sank in.
I am glad that this piece came out, whatever the motives of the OP. It shows very clearly that even in stressed and difficult conditions, the Indian police, about whom so much is said by so many, retain their humanity. Women can scream at them, shake thir fists at them, shy bricks at armed para-militaries, and all that will happen is that the man in uniform tucks his head in, avoids the worst of the brickbats, and runs away from a possible confrontation with civilians.
What a refreshing contrast to the testosterone rich spectacles that we see elsewhere! And what a pity that instead of drawing the right conclusions from this display of restraint, we have to wade through utterly irresponsible propagandist bilge.
If your policemen and soldiers had shown such commendable restraint, and your field commanders had displayed even a particle of humanity, then you would have been a much bigger country today, and - who knows? - even a much healthier one. Possibly.
