Man Appears in Court in Bizarre Attire After Alleged Kidnapping
A man named Manoj, accused of taking his son, showed up at court dressed strangely.
He wore half a saree and half pants to show he can be both a mother and a father.
He allegedly took his son from his aunt in March.
The boy's mother had filed cases against Manoj.
Manoj hid for three months before appearing in court.
He believes he acted out of love for his son, but taking the child without permission is still a crime.
