Amravati Sexual Abuse Case: Minority Commission Chairman Flags Attempts to Create Communal Tension A special inquiry committee, directed by Maharashtra State Minority Commission chairman Pyare Khan, conducted a detailed investigation into the sexual abuse case reported from Amravati. The panel visited Paratwada, Achalpur, and Amravati city to gather information and submitted preliminary findings. Khan stated that all identified victims are Muslim girls, which he believes highlights a deliberate effort by vested interests to spread propaganda and create communal tensions in Maharashtra. The committee’s findings, alongside police investigations, have exposed attempts to inflame inter-community discord. The inquiry team comprised Mushtak Pathan, officer on special duty of the Minority Commission and District Child Protection Officer, Nagpur; Sanjay Gat, District Women and Child Development Officer, Amravati; Ajay Dable, District Child Protection Officer, Amravati; Kirty Sadane, a social worker affiliated with the District Child Protection Unit, Amravati; and Namrata Kadu, a protection officer from the same unit. During their visit, the committee met the district collector of Amravati to review administrative responses and held discussions with the superintendent of police in Amravati. They also gathered inputs from the assistant superintendent of police in Paratwada regarding the crime scene and progress of the probe, while coordinating with multiple departments to verify case details. The committee noted that preliminary information about the survivors was collected, but none of the victims have yet come forward to record statements, posing a significant challenge to the investigation.#amravati #pyare_khan #maharashtra_state_minority_commission #paratwada #achalpur
