NEW DELHI: A horrifying incident has been reported from Biharโs Saharsa, involving a Madarsa teacher who allegedly sexually assaulted a minor girl within a mosque over an extended period. The situation remained undisclosed until it was discovered that the victim was pregnant. Following the victimโs complaint on October 9, the accused has been taken into police custody after an FIR was filed against him.
The Maulana had also issued death threats to the 13-year-old minor girl in order to silence her. She lived at her maternal grandmotherโs residence as her mother was employed in Delhi. During her stay at her grandmotherโs house, the victim would attend the village mosque for her studies.
Speaking with The New India, the victim said, โHe took me to a room. He also gave me death threats warning me to not say anything to anyone. It has been going on for long.โ The girl demanded justice for herself. She said, โI found out about this pregnancy through an ultrasound. I demand that he be punished strictly.โ
After the matter came to light, on October 7, the father of the accused, along with a group of people, approached the victimโs mother. During this meeting, he made a promise to provide Rs 10,000 as a bribe to suppress the matter and offered assistance in arranging the girlโs marriage.
When the victimโs mother declined the offer, the accusedโs father and his companions resorted to threats, warning that they would expel the mother and daughter from the village. Subsequently, the victimโs family went to the police station and filed a complaint against the accused. Following the registration of the case, the cops took action promptly and apprehended the accused Maulana.
The girlโs mother hopelessly said, โNobody is supporting my daughter. We are poor, what can we do?โ
