BENGALURU: Three minor boys were chained in a Madrassa as punishment for refusing to attend the institution. HSR police soon rescued the boys aged between 7 to 10 years, after they received a tip off about the incident. The kids were reportedly chained in front of other students as a punishment, and their father Siraj Wahab, a labourer claimed he wanted his children to study, which is why took the extreme step. Siraj and teacher Mubarak Moulasaab were arrested and sent to judicial custody. DCP Boralingaiah said a video of the incident circulated on WhatasApp, which brought the police's attention to the issue. Meanwhile, the kids have been sent to a state home.
