Indian police summons parrot over 'hurling abuses'

A foreign news agency reported that an elderly woman named Janabai Sakharkar had filed a complaint against her stepson Suresh over teaching his parrot Hariyal to abuse her whenever she passed her house.

The law enforcement agencies were baffled when they heard the case. They called the man, woman and the bird to the police station for the investigation.

However, the bird remained silent when it was asked to speak to the woman.

The inspector supervising the case stated that there is a dispute over land and property between the woman and her stepson.

The bird has been handed over to the forest department.
