This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 17 September 2015.
When the truth emerged, the police were left red faced. The teacher might have done her duty as a responsible American citizen but the police should have double checked and not taken Ahmed away in handcuffs.
Anyway, the incident has made a hero of Ahmed Mohamed, the son of Sudanese immigrants, and US President Barack Obama has invited him to the White House. The bespectacled ninth grader has been asked to attend an astronomy night that the White House is hosting for top scientists on 19 October.
Not only the President, but Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has also extended an invitation to the young man to come to the company's California headquarters. Ahmed is an aspiring inventor who dabbles in robotics and builds his own radios.
