A madrasa caretaker was booked for allegedly touching private parts of a nine-year-old boy in an "inappropriate" manner, police said today.
The alleged incident occurred last evening when the caretaker (22) took the boy to a toilet in the seminary, said Falaknuma police station inspector P Yadagiri.
The boy, a class IV student of a private school, is learning Arabic at the seminary.
"The boy later informed the matter to his father who in turn lodged a complaint with the police," he said.
