Bizzare: Police arrest goat for trespassing on judge's garden

It may sound absurd but it is true, a goat was taken into police custody in Chhattisgarh for venturing into a judge’s garden.
The goat, which was released later, was accused of being a 'repeat offender'.
"My goat scaled the boundary wall again and ate flowers and vegetables in the garden. It was taken to the police station and then police brought me in as well," said Abdul Hasan.
The Chhattisgarh police said the accused ignored warnings given to him for over a week and was detained and charged under Sections 447 (trespass), 427 (damaging and destroying property of others) and 151 (creating public nuisance) Indian Penal Code.
Janakpur station in-charge RS Paikra told that Hasan had been letting loose his goat into the garden of magistrate S E Ratre for more than a week.
Meanwhile, politicos slammed the incident saying the matter was ridiculous.
Local Congress leader Shailesh Nitin Trivedi said, “Those accused in rape cases are moving freely. The most painful and disappointing aspect is the entry made by an ASI of Chhattisgarh police in the diary that 'the goat would graze on the garden, despite warnings'. Chhattisgarh police is communicating with goats.”
In a similar case, a parrot was detained in Maharashtra for making obscene remarks against an old woman.
