The boy and his parents were called in to the police station a day later (as per the regulations, a minor must be accompanied by his parents or a guardian) and Euan was duly reprimanded.

"In Delhi," chuckled a friend's mother visiting from India, "they would have transferred the police officer who dared to arrest him to the Andamans."
