The incident came to light after the victim’s father went to meet his daughter who was studying at the madrasa and found Ali touching the girl inappropriately. He then caught Ali and raised an alarm. After seeing the commotion, an 11-year-old girl told her parents who were part of the crowd that had gathered there, that she too had been a victim.
The crowd took Ali to Trombay police station and he was arrested on Tuesday night. A medical examination was conducted on both girls at Sion hospital and the police recorded the statements of the witnesses.
