The kid wasn't locked up. The title of the post is incorrect and misleading. This is the actual title:

Karnataka’s sedition case against parent and teacher for a school play is absurd – and illegal



Were they free to go? Did they have parents or lawyers present? Was any adult on their side present?

They had the same liberties and agency they would have had if they were behind bars. Zero, to be precise.


they were interrogated at police station, not locked up


They were children. Do children have no special protections in India? Is interrogation much better?

Not sure if you are a pedant who cares to an inappropriate degree about the proper use of words, or more likely, trying to distract from this heinous set of events by arguing semantics.
