Maulvi rapes boys?

The Kashmir police have booked Aijaz Sheikh, called Maulvi Sahab by locals, under Section 377 of the state’s Ranbir Penal Code and filed a charge sheet in court.

The absence of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act in RPC has prevented access to justice for children who have been sexually abused.

But Sheikh and his relatives who said he was being falsely implicated in the case by a family who had taken money from him and not returned it.

The accused is married and has three children, including two boys and a girl. However, Sheikh, stated, “I am innocent. You do not even have to trust me; you can ask anyone in the village and you will get the idea of the reputation I hold.”
