A Muslim cleric has been arrested in Lucknow, a city in India's Uttar Pradesh state for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl under the pretext of performing an exorcism, police said on Thursday.
According to media reports, a case against the man
has been registered under Sections 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and relevant Sections of Prevention of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO) Act.
Police told media that the victim, who lives in a nearby village, used to visit the cleric for treatment.
The victim had narrated about the incident to her mother but the latter maintained silence for fear of public shame. However, the girl’s father, who works in Mumbai, filed a complaint once he learned about it.
Local police took action raiding several locations to arrest the cleric, who was on the run. They got a tip-off about his possible location on Wednesday and manage to bust him at a railway station.
