The children and NGO workers confirmed that Shah would sexually harass them.

Seven-year-old girl escapes rape attempt
A court has remanded Shah into police custody for a three-day period.
Earlier in the day, a case of attempted rape involving a seven-year-old girl had been reported in Rahim Yar Khan.
The police told Express News that H*, a resident of Mohallah Ghareebabad, was present outside her house when 20-year-old Salman, a resident of Rahimabad, allegedly abducted her.
The accused took the victim to a nearby spot and tried to allegedly rape her.
In the meantime, H* raised a hue and cry. After hearing her screams, people from the neighbourhood rushed to the spot and caught the culprit red-handed and foiled the rape attempt.
