INDIA
The Freethinker
BY BARRY DUKE – OCTOBER 18, 2013
AN outraged father in Nagpur, India, attacked a volunteer mosque worker after he learned that his son, 9, had been lured by the man into the mosque storeroom and raped.
Others reportedly joined in the assault on Mohd Ashfaque Sheikh Nazir, who rushed to Sadar police station to lodge a complaint. While a bleeding Ashfaque was taken to Mayo hospital, the boy’s father and others were charged with assault.
Police said Ashfaque had joined the mosque as a volunteer cleaner after he had been being released from jail, where he had served time for “a serious offence”.
Nearby residents claimed Ashfaque had frequently been offering lozenges, toffees and money to local boys in the narrow lane behind the mosque.
