On 29th November 2023, the 11‑year‑old girl had gone to the village mosque with her younger brother to study. The Maulana sent the other children away and kept her brother occupied with tasks. He then lured the girl into a room under false pretenses and committed the assault.

Editorial Perspective

How is it that individuals who parade themselves as scholars of Islam commit such heinous crimes? The media, which often engages in baseless mudslinging against Hindu saints, should in fact be investigating the mindset of such Maulanas and the teachings that drive them to commit such acts.
