7 kids rescued at rly stn after escaping from Miraj madarsa

They are thought to be from Bihar’s Bhagalpur, and are currently with the CWC.

The ugly face of children being harassed in the name of education at various fake madrasas across the state has come to fore yet again, after as many as seven children ran away from one such place and were rescued by an NGO from Pune railway station on Thursday afternoon.

The children were then sent to a shelter home in Talegaon by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

While it continues to be a mystery as to how children in such large numbers are being brought in from Bihar, the seven kids in the latest case were also discovered to be natives of Bihar’s Bhagalpur district.

CWC member Beena Hirekar confirmed the development to Mirror, adding that the children escaped from a madarsa in Miraj before they found their way to Pune. “We have with us seven children who ran away from a madarsa near Sangli. It is quite early to say why they ran away from there. We are going to question them, but only once they ease up. Right now, they are all quite tense,” she saud.

Recently, in one of the biggest rescue operations to be carried out in Pune, as many as 37 children, who had been forced to dwell in the most inhumane conditions, were rescued from a so-called orphanage run in the name of a madarsa located in the Katraj area. They had gone on to reveal that they were being sexually and physically exploited.

The shocking act was being carried out behind the façade of a Muslim orphanage, from where two children, aged 10 years each, had escaped and were working at Pune railway station doing odd jobs. They were rescued first by members of an NGO named Sathi, who later presented them before the CWC, where they revealed what they had gone through.
