Police in Diglipur have registered a case in opposition to two younger males after a minor lady was discovered having consumed beer throughout Durga Puja festivities.

As per the First Information Report (FIR), the lady, a faculty pupil, had gone to see the Durga Puja Celebrations in Diglipur on the night of October 1, accompanied by her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law’s brother, and one other neighbour. Later within the night, she remained within the firm of the 2 younger males — whom she known as“brothers” — whereas her sister-in-law acquired busy with the festivities. During this time, she expressed curiosity and tried beer for the primary time.

Police patrolling the realm observed the scent of alcohol and, contemplating her age, took her to the Community Health Centre for medical examination. She was later discovered to be secure and confirmed in her assertion that no hurt or wrongdoing was performed to her. She mentioned she had voluntarily sipped beer for the primary time and was unable to deal with it.

Despite this, police have registered an FIR because the regulation strictly prohibits the availability of alcohol or intoxicants to minors, even when supplied casually or consumed voluntarily.

The FIR lists the next authorized provisions:

• Section 77 of the Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2015 — which penalises giving intoxicating liquor, narcotic medication or psychotropic substances to a baby (punishable with rigorous imprisonment of as much as seven years and a positive of as much as ₹1 lakh).

• Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 — a general-explanation provision making use of the doctrine of widespread intention. It implies that if an offence is dedicated in furtherance of a shared plan, every one who shared that intention may be held liable as if they’d acted alone.
