The pictures of the boy stumped the internet this week showing one of his legs in chains while he was doing some chores at a small teashop in Nasirpur area of the city.
The social media users were shell-shocked after getting to know that the boy was chained by his own father.
Sardar Khan was booked under section 107 of CrCP, which pertains to committing a breach of public tranquility; the court can set Sardar Khan free after submission of surety bonds.
