Two Arabic college senior teachers were exonerated by a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) court here on Monday after it was proven that they had been framed by a student’s family nearly seven years ago.
Husain Mannani, Principal of Jannathul Uloom Arabic College, and Zainuddin Mannani, senior teacher at the college, walked out of the Fast Track Special Court III here after a six-year legal battle.
The clerics had been haunted by a section of the media and been mentioned in a Malayalam film as POCSO accused. They said they suffered a lot of ignominy in the last six years since the family of a student filed a case against them in 2017.
