Pune child sexual assault investigations

Entities: Ramzan Bagwan · Maharashtra · Pimpri‑Chinchwad · Pune Police

Overview

In July 2026 police in Pune intensified investigations into child sexual assault cases. On July 15, a private coaching teacher, Arif Yakub Syed, was arrested after a 14‑year‑old student accused him of molestation during a robotics class. Authorities registered the case under the POCSO Act and related Indian Penal Code sections, and the investigation continued.

A second arrest followed on July 28, when 61‑year‑old Ramzan Bagwan was detained for alleged knifepoint assaults on a 10‑year‑old girl and her 4‑year‑old sister in the Pimpri‑Chinchwad area. The case was booked under multiple statutes, including the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the POCSO Act, and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Both incidents underscotted ongoing concerns about child safety in the region and the authorities' enforcement of child‑protection laws.
