RUMDAMOL: Maina Curtorim Police, along with Childline officials, rescued 17 minor boys from an illegally run madrassa at Rumdamol Housing Board near Anjuman High School.
Police said they received information about an unauthorized madrassa being operated by Tauqir Alam Noori under the name Raza-E-Khwaja Garib Nawaz Institute.
A team visited the premises and found that Noori failed to produce any registration documents for the institute.
During the raid, 17 minors were found at the madrassa. They were immediately rescued and produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) for necessary formalities.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that nine of the children were from Bihar and eight from Karnataka.
The madrassa has since been shut down, and a detailed report is being sent to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate for further action.
Noori claimed that the families of the children were known to him and had admitted them at the institute.
