National Human Rights Commission:<\/span> On 28-08-2025, the National Human Rights Commission (‘NHRC’) took suo motu cognizance of the reported rape of a 7-year-old boy by a Mosque Imam in Roorkee, Uttarakhand.<\/p>\n

As per the media report, an Imam sexually abused a 7-year-old boy at a mosque in the Jhabreda area of Roorkee, Uttarakhand, on 20-08-2025. Reportedly, the victim boy had gone to study in the mosque. The perpetrator took the victim to his room forcefully and committed the heinous act. He also threatened the victim with his life if he revealed the incident to anyone, but the victim immediately informed his family after reaching home.<\/p>\n

The NHRC observed that if the contents of the news report were true, it raised serious concerns about human rights violations. Therefore, the NHRC issued notices to the District Magistrate and the Superintendent of Police, Roorkee, calling for a detailed report on the matter within two weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
