Indian police said on Tuesday in New Delhi that a parrot accused
of hurling abuses at an elderly woman has been summoned.
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 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 the complainant also accused her step-son, with whom
she had 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.
