The juvenile was produced before the principal magistrate of the Juvenile Justice Board and based on the custody petition filed by the parents of the juvenile, he was handed over to his parents.
The mobile internet service resumed in the state after 9 am on Friday.
The mobile internet service in Assam remained snapped in the wake of violent protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019.
However, during a hearing over a plea to the Gauhati High Court urging it to direct the Assam government for withdrawing the suspension on the mobile internet service, the court ordered the state government on Thursday to lift the ban.
Earlier, the broadband services were withdrawn by the state government.
