Chained


Koppal, March 1: An incident of a boy being chained by the authorities of a madrasa, allegedly at the behest of his parents, has been reported in the city.

On Wednesday, he was lodged in the juvenile home by Unicef officials after he had escaped from the madrasa on Tuesday. A case has been registered at the city police station against the security guard of the madrasa at Mittikeri.

Sahil Chandsab Surana had fled the madrasa and sought shelter at a hotel run by his grandfather near Gescom office in the city. Officials of Unicef and the staff of the Child Protection Cell of the office of the Superintendent of Police brought Sahil to the city police station.

The boy’s mother, Shamshad Begum, who arrived at the police station, said Sahil was mischievous and never attended classes at the government primary school in Vijayanagar Colony. He was admitted to the madrasa at Gangavati. Since he did not stay at the madrasa for long, he was brought to the Madrasa-e-Deeniya Habibia at Mittikeri four days ago. The madrasa staff were asked by the boy’s parents to chain him to prevent him from running away. But Sahil fled the place, along with the chain, on Tuesday.

Prakash, co-ordinating officer of the Block Resource Cluster, has clarified that the madrasa is not functioning under his department and has not even availed the necessary recognition.

Harish Jogi, trainer of the Child Protection Scheme of Unicef, said the chaining of the boy amounted to violation of child rights and hence, a case had been registered against the security guard of the madrasa.

Mar 12: Three women were arrested for allegedly administrating fake coronavirus vaccines to villagers in Maharashtra's Jalna district, police said on Thursday.

The police on Wednesday arrested Beed residents Radha Ramnath Saamse, Seema Krishna Andhale and Sangeeta Rajendra Avhad, who allegedly posed as doctors and healthcare workers, an official said.

The trio met villagers of Pipalgoan in Ambad tehsil, informed them about a vaccine that could protect them from coronavirus and administered it to gullible locals, he said.

Some villagers informed Dr Mahadev Munde, a medical officer at a rural health centre, about this, after which a complaint was lodged, the official said.

Fake vaccines and bottles, which were seized from the accused, have been sent to the state health department, he said, adding that a case of cheating has been registered against the trio.
