Muslim Teen Detained in MP: 'Are You Going to Become a Terrorist?'

A 15-year-old boy from Bihar was detained in Madhya Pradesh while traveling to a madrasa in Maharashtra. Authorities stopped over 160 children at Katni railway station on suspicion of human trafficking, but later found no evidence of trafficking or forced labor. All children were released after investigations. The boy's mother traveled to Madhya Pradesh to bring him home, submitting documents to prove their relationship. Officials defended the questioning as part of child protection measures, but concerns were raised about selective targeting of Muslim children traveling to madrasas.
