A man has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 10-year-old minor inside a mosque in Delhi’s Maujpur area, a senior police official said on Friday.

The 24-year-old accused, identified as Mohammad Imran from Kishanganj in Bihar, used to teach students inside the mosque.

According to the official, an incident of indecent behaviour was reported at the Jafrabad police station on Wednesday.

“An FIR under sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) of the Indian Penal Code and 10 POCSO Act was registered and Imran was arrested,” said the official.

The accused is presently in judicial custody.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
