Nagpur Police Investigate Attempted Sexual Assault at Madrasa; 10 Boys RescuedPreviousNext

In Nagpur, Maharashtra, police are investigating allegations that a 26-year-old man from Bihar, a friend of a madrasa teacher, attempted to sexually assault a minor boy at Darul Uloom Taj madrasa. The incident reportedly occurred on June 19, with the child raising an alarm and the accused subsequently removed from the premises. Authorities have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, rescued 10 boys from the madrasa, and are searching for the absconding suspect while probing if other children were targeted.
