Viral message on WhatsApp today, Social Media claims:
Sexual abuse in a madrassa, cleric arrested, 52 girl students rescued
मीडिया को चिन्मयानंद से फुरसत मिल गयी हो तो ये खबर भी बताने का कष्ट करें. एक नहीं, दो नहीं, पूरे 52 लड़कियों का मामला है वो 8 से 18 की उम्र की
शोषण मुक्त समाज के लिये आर्य सिद्धान्त को अपनाना होगा कि लड़कों की पाठशाला में पांच वर्ष से बड़ी कन्या भी न जा सके और कन्या गुरूकुल में पांच वर्ष से बड़ा लड़का भी प्रवेश न कर सके।

News Verification: The newspaper clip widely shared on social media is not entirely true. The clips are not new, it is old news from 2017. The media clip has been edited to suit the fake news. Through editing, the word Maulvi has been added instead of Manager.
Many newspapers like zee news reported the same information. As per the news,
A case of alleged sexual abuse came to light in a madrasa in the Shahadatganj area of Uttar Pradesh's capital Lucknow. On 17th Dec 2017, 51 girl students were freed from this madrassa named Khadijatul Kubra Lilbanat by a team of police and administration. The director has been arrested.
