Prayagraj. Muslim students come to madrasas to receive religious training. In Muslim society, madrasas are considered sacred. But what can be said if the madrasa’s maulvi starts doing wrong things in the name of madrasa. A similar case has come to light in which the police have arrested madrasa maulvi Mohammad Tafseerul, Arifin, Mohammad Afzal, Mohammad Shahid and Zahir Khan alias Abdul Zahir. The reason for their arrest is that all of them were running a racket of printing fake notes at a place like a madrasa.
There is a madrasa named Jamia Habibiya Masjid-e-Azam in the Atarsuiya area of the city. Its Maulvi Tafseerul had given shelter to the gang members in the madrasa. It was here that all of them used to print fake notes together. Since it was a madrasa, they did not suspect anyone. In such a situation, they were running this illegal business very comfortably.
