6 youths arrested for pressurising Hindu girls to study at madarsas and abusing when the girls resisted

The Unnao police in Uttar Pradesh arrested six youths for harassing and molesting three Hindu girls in the district’s Lachhi Khera village. The action was initiated in response to a complaint filed by Komal Vajpayee, the mother of these three victims. Komal in her complaint accused Atteq, Raja, Zeeshan, and 4 others of harassing her daughters. The accused had reportedly been pressuring the girls to stop attending school and study in a Madarsa instead.

According to reports, the accused threatened to kidnap the three girls if they did not conform to their demands. The accused reportedly abused and molested the girls when they resisted.

The Unnao police took to Twitter on Thursday to confirm that the Mauranwan PS has taken cognizance and arrested the 6 accused after registering a case against them under relevant sections of the IPC.
