Lahore. A madrassa teacher was arrested on Wednesday for raping at least 10 minor students in Pakistan’s Punjab province. According to the police, the concerned police officer Akhtar Farooq said on Wednesday that the accused Qari Bashir in the ‘Bhutta Wahan’ area of Sadiqabad Rahim Yar Khan, about 500 km from Lahore, has admitted to molesting the boys during the last two months. He has been taken into custody.
The police arrested the teacher after the parents of the madrasa students lodged an FIR. The FIR alleges that Bashir forcibly took their children to his room in the madrasa and molested them. The police have sent the four victims to a hospital for medical examination. Farooq said, “We have requested other students to inform the police if they have also been sexually abused. According to a police official, the victims said in their statement that the accused, after committing the misdeed, said that if he told anything about it to anyone, he would kill them.
