In Moradabad, three staff members of Jamia Asanul Banat Girls College have been accused of demanding a virginity certificate from a seventh-grade student from Chandigarh before readmitting her. The girl&rsquo;s father, Mohammad Yusuf, alleged that the madrasa also threatened to expel his daughter by issuing a Transfer Certificate (TC) if the family did not comply. The incident has caused outrage and led to a police investigation.
According to Yusuf, the girl was temporarily taken to Chandigarh by her father to visit her ailing grandmother in Allahabad. When they tried to readmit her to the school, the madrasa management reportedly said they had received an anonymous call accusing the father of inappropriate behavior toward his daughter. Based on this, they demanded a medical examination and a virginity certificate. The family strongly denied these allegations, calling them false and insulting.
The father stated that when they requested the TC instead, the school charged ₹500 to fill the form and included comments indicating that a medical examination was necessary. Despite repeated follow-ups since August 21, 2025, the school has not issued the TC, preventing the child from enrolling in another school on time. Yusuf also claimed that the madrasa collected full fees for the period from January to August even though the child attended only seven days.
The family has expressed that these actions caused severe mental distress to the child and disrupted her education. Yusuf has lodged a formal complaint with the local police station on October 14, 2025, demanding a thorough investigation and strict action against the school management. He said he has all evidence, including the fee slips, TC form, and payment receipt, to support his claims.
SP City Ran Vijay Singh confirmed that the madrasa in the Pakbara area of Lodhipur police station is under investigation following the complaint. He stated that the child was expelled through a TC and added that action will be taken according to the facts established during the inquiry. The madrasa management has not issued any official response regarding the allegations.
Child rights advocates and education activists have criticized the demand for a virginity certificate as unethical, illegal, and deeply traumatizing. They have urged authorities to ensure accountability, protect the student&rsquo;s welfare, and provide counseling support. The case has reignited concerns over misuse of authority in educational institutions and the need for stronger oversight in private religious schools.
