Indian police said on Tuesday in New Delhi that it had
summoned a parrot accused of hurling abuses at an
elderly woman.
Local Police Chief, P.S. Dongre, confirmed that the
parrot was summoned by the police after carrying
out a test to check whether the bird was guilty of bad
behaviour.
He said that the bird was summoned following a
complaint by one Janabai Sakharkar, 75, of a village
in the western state of Maharashtra. According to
him, Sakharkar had complained that her neighbour
had tutored his caged pet called ‘’Hariyal’’ to utter
obscenities whenever she passed by his house.
Dongre said that the complainant also accused her
step-son, with whom she has a property dispute, of
colluding with the neighbour, following which all
three, including the parrot, were summoned to the
police station.
He said the parrot seemed to have become self-
conscious, with all the attention from the police and
kept mum when confronted by the complainant.
“The woman repeated her name to the parrot as its
cage was brought near her, but the bird would not
say a word,’’ he said.
The officer disclosed that the parrot had been
handed over to the forest department for release
into wild life
