An FIR has been lodged against a Maulana of a Madrasa in Ranchi for sexually assaulting a minor girl.

According to the FIR lodged at Ormanjhi Police Station in Ranchi by the victim’s father, Maulana, identified as Imam Ansari, used to make the 11-year-old girl sit on his lap forcefully and show obscene videos to her.

“After lodging an FIR, the police have launched a drive to arrest the Maulana,” the police said.

The matter was revealed after the girl was reluctant to go to the madrasa for the last week and revealed everything before them when they asked her why she did not want to go there, the police added.

The victim told her parents that he used to often touch her body.

Locals said Maulana has been doing such shameful acts with other girls too, but they could not complain to their parents out of fear.
