Andhra Pradesh: Boy beaten up, kept in chains at madrassa

Sangareddy A 12-year-old boy was allegedly chained by authorities of a local madrassa to prevent him from escaping from the school, following which a case was registered against its management, police said on Sunday. According to Medak town police, the boy has been studying in 'Minhaj-ul-uloom' religious school for the past three years and had earlier made several attempts to run away from the madrassa, as he was not a quick learner and had a stammering problem.

The police said that the madrassa management had chained the boy a few days ago to prevent him from escaping. Nonetheless, he managed to escape by jumping from the compound wall of the madrassa on Saturday and landed at a judge's house, who informed the police about the matter.

The boy, with his legs tied with a chain, was rescued by the police, which later booked a case under IPC sections and Juvenile Justice Act against the madrassa management. Police also took into custody two teachers of the madrassa in this connection but they were later released.

The 12-year-old, however, managed to escape by jumping from the compound of the madrassa.
