In Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich district, 40 minor girls aged 9 to 14 were rescued from the toilet of an illegal madrassa during a raid by the district administration. The action was led by SDM Ashwani Pandey and police officials after villagers raised complaints. Madrassa operator Khalil Ahmad tried to block the raid but fled after police entered. Authorities confirmed the madrassa was unregistered, with 495 such institutions running in the district. Parents of the girls have been contacted. A full police probe is underway, and officials hinted the case may be sent to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for further investigation. (PC: AI generated )
