Minor boy chained for trying to steal slippers

A minor boy from Ghaziabad was chained on Tuesday for allegedly trying to steal slippers from a doctor's clinic. The boy was tied with a thick metal chain by the doctor's attendant, who got arrested on Wednesday.

The incident came to light when a couple of local journalists noticed the little boy chained and clicked pictures. The boy allegedly tried to make away with a few slippers outside the clinic but was caught by the attendant and tied as punishment.

The police arrived after journalists intervened and arrested the attendant. The doctor of the clinic, however, claimed no knowledge of the incident. "The place in the picture is several shops away from my clinic. I have no knowledge about the incident and the incident did not take place at my clinic," he reportedly said.
