In the most ridiculous allegation ever, a 9-month old Pakistani baby was accused of raiding a state-run gas company and plotting to murder police.

Muhammad "Musa" Khan has since gone into hiding following his first court appearance last week. The alleged infant criminal mastermind was charged with conspiracy to commit murder on February 1, along with his father, grandfather, and some 30 others. The group was protesting an increase in gas prices and a lack of available electricity in their area.

Baby Musa was granted bail in a Lahore court last week, and he's got another court appearance scheduled for April 12. But his family hasn't decided if he'll show up.

"Police are vindictive. Now they are trying to settle the issue on personal grounds, that's why I sent my grandson to Faisalabad for protection," the baby's grandfather, Muhammad Yasin, told Reuters.

The baby came to be charged with a crime against the police when a police sub-inspector apparently claimed in a report that Yasin's entire family beat him up during the protest. That sub-inspector has since been fired.

"[Musa] does not even know how to pick up his milk bottle properly, how can he stone the police?" Yasin asked at the child's court appearance last Thursday.
