A man has been arrested in Jamalpur, Ahmedabad, for allegedly committing an unnatural act against an 8-year-old boy inside a local mosque, sending shockwaves through the area. The accused, identified as Nauman Sheikh, reportedly lured the minor to the mosque’s terrace under a false pretext while he had come there for Namaz, police said.
According to the complaint lodged at the Gaekwad Haveli Police Station, the child later informed his family about the assault, following which they immediately approached the authorities.
