Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Muslim student who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to his Texas high school back in September, is now demanding $15 million as well as apologies from city officials and his former school after he was detained under suspicion of bringing a bomb to school.

Mohamed was detained on Sept. 14 after he tried to "impress" his teacher at the MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas by showing her a clock that he had built. However, another teacher mistakenly thought the device was a bomb and notified authorities. The Muslim teen was then placed in handcuffs and interrogated as a suspected terrorist for almost 90 minutes, according to the boy's attorney.

Eventually, he was released from custody and police dropped their charges. However, school officials and the mayor of the Texas town defended their actions.

Shortly thereafter, the teenager received an outpouring of global support on social media, as well as from celebrities and high profile tech companies. He was also invited to the White House by President Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, activists jumped to his defense, arguing that he was the victim of profiling due to his ethnicity and religion.

Despite the support he received, Ahmed's legal rep said the teen has been deeply traumatized by his arrest and that his reputation has been tainted, reports BBC News. In turn, representatives for the boy are threatening to file a civil lawsuit, if the mayor and police chief do not submit a written apology along with $15 million within 60 days.

On Monday, attorney Kelly Hollingsworth sent two letters to attorneys representing the school district and the city, claiming that Ahmed's civil rights were violated by the way the case was handled, reports CNN. Hollingsworth also alleged that the teen was not read his Miranda rights during his arrest and that those involved with the incident tried to cover up mistakes "with a media campaign that further alienated the child at the center of this maelstrom."

"They tried to push responsibility off on the victim -- Ahmed. They have even implied publicly that what has come of this has been good for Ahmed, as though the resilience of this fine boy and his fine family somehow excused what they did. It does not, for there is no excuse," the letters read.

"Ahmed will now forever be associated with bomb making wholly without basis," Hollingsworth added.

The letters went on to say that the Muslim teenager was "singled out because of his race, national origin and religion."

Ahmed has since moved to Doha, Qatar and accepted a full academic scholarship for his high school and college education from the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development.
