Images have emerged of the baby
apparently appearing in court, clutching his bottle while sitting on his
father's lap on Thursday.
A police report alleged the suspects tried to murder officers by throwing stones at them during the raid.
The report lodged a complaint against Muhammad Yassen's whole family, which included his nine-month-old grandson, The Express Tribune reported.
Sub-Inspector Kashif Ahmed has now reportedly been suspended for registering the case against the child.
The child's father said the group had been protesting against a shortage of electricity in their area, The Times of India reported.

The judge was unable to dismiss the case against the child because it was outside of his jurisdiction, The News International has reported.
Punjab's Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif meanwhile has now intervened and ordered a report from the police's Inspector General.
He also reportedly demanded 'stern action' against the officials responsible for bringing the case, according to The Nation.
The Minister for Human Rights and Minorities Affairs Khalil Tahir Sindhu is also said to have taken notice of the case.
