Rabodi police have arrested a 24-year old preacher, who allegedly sodomised a student inside a madrasa at Kalwa. Though the complaint has reached Childline in Kalyan, the victim’s mother has refused to pursue the matter, saying it would defile her son’s future.

The accused, Mohammad Farooq Abdul Sheikh (25), was teaching at a madrasa near Kranti Nagar, Kalwa for the past one month. The victim and his uncle were also staying at the school. The boy’s mother lives in an adjacent locality, while his father works in Gujarat.
