The boys, aged between 10 and 12, were allegedly abused over the past few months, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ashok Chakravathy told.

Rehan, who teaches Arabic, was arrested on Wednesday based on a complaint filed on April 29 by parents of some of the minors who had informed them about the assault, the official said.
