Four minors in Nuh, who were booked for serious offences linked to the recent communal violence, spent time in police custody in alleged violation of Juvenile Justice Act norms.
Three of them were transferred to juvenile observation homes only after orders from separate courts, where they were earlier presented as adults by the police. The fourth suspect was declared a juvenile on Thursday but, at the time of publishing this report, was yet to be transferred to an observation home from adult jail.
