UP Madrasa Staff Booked Over Alleged 'Virginity Test' Demand, Admission In-Charge Arrested

Police say a preliminary inquiry corroborated the complaint, prompting charges under POCSO with BNS sections added.

Overview

  • An FIR names admission in-charge Shahjahan, principal Rahnuma and other staff of Jamia Ahsanul Banat Girls’ College in Moradabad after a father's complaint about an alleged demand for a 'virginity test' report.
  • SP City Kumar Ranvijay Singh said the allegations were found true in an initial probe, Shahjahan was arrested and sent to jail, and police are searching for additional accused.
  • The complaint alleges the girl was refused re-enrolment unless a medical or 'virginity' certificate was produced, with expulsion warned if it was not submitted.
  • The father says Rs 500 was taken for a transfer certificate that has been delayed since August, blocking admission to other schools and causing distress to the child.
  • The institution denies the allegations as baseless, while police review submitted documents referencing a medical test and state that further legal sections may be added based on findings.
