Two Madrasa Staff Arrested in Separate Sexual Assault Cases in Uttar Pradesh

Police charged two madrasa staff under the POCSO Act following arrests in distinct sexual assault cases in Uttar Pradesh.

The victim has been sent for a medical examination, said police.

Overview

  • On May 30, Zubair, a madrasa manager in Bareilly, allegedly sexually assaulted a teacher and was arrested on June 1.
  • On June 1, Maulvi Saddam Hussain was taken into custody in Muzaffarnagar for raping a 15-year-old student after luring her under the pretext of teaching.
  • Officials registered cases under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the POCSO Act, leading to both arrests at local police stations.
