Rani Pandey is a six-year-old girl - and an accused in a criminal case.
The girl has been charged by the police in the northern Indian state of Bihar with attacking them and helping her father escape from police custody.
This despite the fact that under Indian laws, the police cannot file a criminal case against a child below seven years of age.
"When the police lodged the case, they claimed Rani was 10 years old, when she was actually four years old. How could a four-year-old girl have attacked three policemen and freed me?" asks a distraught Bir Bahadur Pandey, the girl's father.
