Can a Police Complaint Be Filed Against a 17-Year-Old in India?
01-Oct-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I was threatened by my 17-year-old neighbor's son, who said he would beat me with the help of his friends. Can I file a police complaint against a minor?
Hi, You can file a complaint against anyone threatening or assaulting you, regardless of whether they are a minor or an adult doesn't matter. If convicted, the punishment will depend on the seriousness of the offence. Minors may be sent to a juvenile facility, while adults may face time in a regular jail.
