Police Detain Arif Yaqoob Sayyed Over Claims of Sexual Misconduct in Pune

Authorities in Pune have arrested Arif Yaqoob Sayyed, a private coach who offered robotics and computer training, after a minor accused him of sexual misconduct.

When the clock struck midnight, the accused allegedly engaged in indecent acts. Following the victim’s disclosure to her sister, the family lodged a complaint, leading police to file a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and relevant IPC sections. The suspect is now in custody as investigators continue their inquiry.
