Cutting his birthday cake with a sword on a city street proved costly for a Mumbai boy.

The 17-year-old boy was booked for allegedly cutting 21 cakes with a sword while celebrating his birthday on a crowded street in the western suburb of Borivali here, police said on Monday.

A video of the incident which took place on Friday surfaced on social media, following which the offence was registered on Sunday, an official from MHB police station said.

The video shows the boy cutting cakes with a sword along with his friends, he said.

A case under relevant provisions of the Arms Act has been registered in this regard and further probe is underway, the official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
