It’s a true story of a 12 year old girl who was arrested for stealing a sum of two hundred and fifty Indian rupees which is around three and a half american dollars. Its sad the police took quick action against her where in our country people have scammed and run away and nothing has been done against them.

The brave police, from the CCTV footage, were able to identify her,
Without wasting much time, they found her and arrested her,

It was a great achievement for them to put her behind the bars,
And their brave act deserved an increment in their status and on their shoulders a star,

The temple authority had filed a case on her for looting the donation box,
But the devil didn't know that her fate was the jail and its unbreakable locks,

She was produced in the court and got herself a judgement,
Her crime was so severe, that she deserved punishment,

She stole a huge amount of two hundred and fifty rupees from the donation box of the temple,
A crime so hideous, the biggest sinner before doing it, with fear of God would've trembled,

What if she was only a twelve-year-old girl,
What if her poor sad story of poverty in the court was unfurled,
