Ahmed Mohammad, the 14-year-old boy from Texas who built a homemade clock and arrested by the cops as the teacher misunderstood it as a bomb. Also, he detained from the school after being arrested. Later he was invited at White House to meet the President Barack Obama who also made a tweet about his “cool clock”. The teenager met Mr. Obama at a science evening at White House but without his homemade clock.This news went viral in social media in the month of September. Now, the family of Ahmed is demanding $15 million (Rs 99 crore) in compensation and written apologies from Irving city’s mayor and police chief, their lawyers have said.

The lawyer of the family wrote in letters which were published by local media said that “they are demanding 10 million US dollars in damages from the city of Irving, Texas, and 5 million dollars from the local school district. The incident caused “severe psychological trauma” to the teen, the letter said, adding that he and his family suffered physical and mental anguish. Moreover, in the letter they said that they will file a civil suit if they do not receive a reply within 60 days.

The letter read, “Ahmed never threatened anyone, never caused harm to anyone, and never intended to. The only one who was hurt that day was Ahmed, and the damages he suffered were not because of oversight or incompetence.”

The family moved to Qatar as they received an invitation from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, which offered Ahmed full scholarship for his secondary and undergraduate education and accepted by them.

There is no response from either school district or from the Irving city on his demand of 5 million USD and 10 Million USD and the written apologies.
