FIRs filed against 100 madrassas in Azamgarh district

timesofindia.indiatimes.com —

Police in Azamgarh have filed FIRs against over 100 madrassas for failing to meet government standards. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) found that 219 madrassas were non-compliant, with some receiving funding without proper verification. The investigation revealed that many madrassas were only registered on paper. Some operators allegedly benefited from modernization schemes through collusion with officials. The SIT's findings led to legal action against these madrassa operators. Previously, the government had identified 313 madrassas under scrutiny, with 387 confirmed as compliant. The SIT's report, submitted in 2022, prompted the current legal actions against the non-compliant madrassas.
