Prince Kumar was spared prison due to the Indian judicial system's treatment of young criminals. Instead, he was imprisoned in a children's home, where he would remain until the age of 18, as required by Indian law. His fragile mind may have "conduct disorders," according to psychiatric evaluations, complicating an already confusing situation. At the age of 16, he was eventually allowed back into society under a new name, albeit his present whereabouts are still unknown.
