New Delhi: The Delhi police on Friday arrested a Maulvi in a Madrasa in North East Delhi's Karawal Nagar area for sexually abusing an 11-year-old boy. The accused has been identified as Javed Mohammad, who is booked under section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and POCSO Act.

The matter came to light after the Delhi Commission for Women on Thursday received a complaint in the matter. As mentioned in a press release issued by the Women's Commission, the victim has alleged that the Maulvi at the Madarsa sexually abused him and also threatened him not to reveal the ordeal to anyone.

The child further informed that he had been studying in the Madarsa for four years and lived on the above floor in the same building as that of the Maulvi.
