A Muslim student, who is a victim in a sexual harassment case involving an Arabic teacher named Ziauddin, has approached the DIG office in Thanjavur district to file a petition, alleging that the individuals involved in the case have been threatening her to withdraw the charges.
In 2021, a student at a private college near Kumbakonam accused Ziauddin, an Arabic teacher at the college, of sexually assaulting her over a span of three years. Even after she completed her studies, Ziauddin allegedly continued to threaten and harass her. The young woman has filed a complaint against six individuals, including Ziauddin. While Ziauddin has been arrested in connection with the POCSO case, the victim claims that the others involved have been threatening to kill her if she does not withdraw the case.
The victim stated to the press, “I have filed a complaint against six individuals, including the management and the main accused, Ziauddin. However, only he has been remanded, and the other five have not faced any consequences. They have only remanded him as others are wealthy. The others who are free outside continue to threaten us with murder every day. Ten to fifteen goons come to our home daily. We are not lying; we have CCTV evidence to prove.”
