Moallem was arrested on Friday after he went to the police station to report abuse by the magistrate.
Another complaint was filed against the magistrate's mother by Blind Lead Trust's director Jitendra Dkhar.
The magistrate and her mother own a five-storeyed building in the Lachumiere area of the city in which the ground floor was rented out to Blind Lead Trust and three blind persons were occupying the rented rooms.
On June 20 night, according to Dkhar, a fight broke out when Moallem had gone upstairs, occupied by the magistrate, to switch on a water pump.
