Assam Madrasa Sealed After Teacher Arrested Over Sexual Abuse AllegationsPreviousNext

Authorities in Assam's Bongaigaon district sealed a private girls' madrasa after allegations of sexual abuse by a teacher, Aminul Islam, against minor students. Following protests and vandalism at the institution, police arrested the accused and restored order. A preliminary inquiry found the madrasa was operating without mandatory government recognition and lacked required safety measures. All 148-149 minor students were sent home, and investigations under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act continue.
