               **A Girl Madarsa  alleges rape of two of its students **


LUCKNOW, JANUARY 19: Two teenaged students of an Allahabad madarsa,
run by the brother of Varanasi blast accused Waliullah, were allegedly
abducted and "appeared to have been raped," police said.

Both live and study at the the Madarsa Zamiat-Us-Salihat-Al-Islam for
girls, run by Wasiullah, brother of Waliullah who is in prison.

According to details gathered by police, armed youths arrived at the
madarsa posing as CID police at about noon on Wednesday and forced
their way in. They held warden Sadum Nisha and peon-cum-gatekeeper
Abdul Haq at gunpoint, and took the girls away forcibly, police said.

Two hours later they dropped both victims near the madarsa and
escaped, police said. "From the description given by madarsa staff to
the police of the state in which the girls returned, it appears they
were raped. But without medical examination, we can't say with
certainty they were raped," said Circle Officer Rahul Srivastava.

Allahabad police claim that the victims have not recorded their
statements and are unwilling to go for a medical check-up. Security
has been provided to the madarsa.

"An FIR has been lodged against unidentified persons by the madarsa
manager Wasiullah. We have also issued him a notice, asking him to
assist police in the investigation," said Allahabad SSP B D Paulson.

Investigating officer Rajesh Singh said it was a resident of the area
who informed them of the incident. "The FIR of molestation and rape
has been lodged but will be confirmed after the medical report," he
said.
