Days after a staff member of a madrasa in Moradabad district was arrested for allegedly questioning a teenage girl’s character and demanding she undergo a medical examination before allowing her to return to classes post a holiday, the district administration has ordered an inquiry into the institution following complaints of alleged foreign funding.

District Magistrate Anuj Singh has constituted a three-member committee to examine the madrasa’s financial dealings, which will scrutinise bank accounts of both the madrasa and its staff as part of the probe.

“We are in the process of collecting complete details related to the madrasa’s funding and financial transactions,” said Ran Vijay Singh, Additional Superintendent of Police, Moradabad, who is also a member of the three-member panel.
