In a shocking incident, Kerala police have arrested Sharafuddin (27), a madrassa teacher from Tamil Nadu, in a case of raping and impregnating a 13-year-old girl. The girl who came to study at the madrassa was molested by the teacher.
The exploitation started last November. According to police, Sharafuddin called the girl to the madrassa before class time and molested her. The girl is now two months pregnant.
The incident came to light last Monday when a teacher in a biology class at the school took a class on menstruation. When the teacher told her that she would stop menstruating if she got pregnant, the child revealed to his friend that he was not menstruating. The friend shared the information with a teacher who in turn informed the headmaster. In the counselling session, the girl revealed the incident and the accused was arrested.
The child was examined at Kalamassery Medical College Hospital. Police said the child was speaking in a contradictory manner and it is doubtful whether anyone else was involved in the incident. It has also decided to conduct DNA testing.
Sharafuddin came to the madrassa near Vazhakulam seven years ago as an assistant. He lives in a rented house in Pattimattam Kummanode area. Although he is from Tamil Nadu, he speaks Malayalam well. He told police he was unmarried. The accused, who was produced in court, was remanded.
