Meerut, July 16 -- In Moradabad district, a Maulana named Rehan Ali was arrested on charges of raping a 16-year-old female student residing at a madrasa hostel. The accused was presented in court and subsequently sent to judicial custody. According to the police, the victim, a student at the madrasa for the past four months, lived in the hostel on the premises. The incident occurred on the night of July 6, 2025, when the accused, Rehan, a resident of Dhakia Jat in Dilari, allegedly entered the victim's hostel room around 2 a.m. The victim's mother, a resident of a village in Dilari, filed a formal complaint, detailing the harrowing ordeal her daughter endured. The complaint states that when the victim resisted Rehan's attempt to drag her to his room, he brandished a pistol and threatened to kill her. He then forcibly took her to his room, where he showed her obscene videos on his mobile phone and raped her. The accused allegedly recorded an obscene video of the victim during the assault, which he used to blackmail her for four days. He threatened to kill her brother, who also studies at the madrasa, and other family members if she reported the incident. On July 10, 2025, the victim confided in her mother about the assault after returning home. The mother approached the madrasa management, seeking action against the accused. However, instead of addressing the issue, the management allegedly pressured her to settle the matter. When no action was taken, the victim's mother lodged a formal complaint at the Dilari police station, leading to Rehan's arrest on Monday. Superintendent of Police (Rural) Kunwar Akash Singh confirmed that the accused Maulana was arrested and sent to jail following his court appearance on Monday evening. The victim underwent a medical examination, and her statements were recorded before a magistrate to support the investigation....
