Boys allegedly molested by madrassah teacher
A teacher at a madrassah allegedly molested three children, including two brothers.
Police have arrested the teacher.
According to the police report, the complainant, a widow residing in Chak No. 228 RB in Haq Bahoo Town, told the police that she had enrolled her sons, one eight-years-old and the other seven, at a madrassah in Bhutto Colony for religious education where Muhammad Majid allegedly molested her sons and a teenage fellow student of her sons.
She told the police that when she went to give her children the essentials, they informed her of what had allegedly transpired.
Saddar Police Station personnel arrived at the scene, arrested the teacher and registered a case against him. Incidents of sexual violence against minors have been rampant across the province. Exactly a week ago, a 12-year-old child and a teenager were among four people raped in Dijkot, police had said.
They said that complainant Shaukat Ali told Razaabad Police Station that accused Owais allegedly tricked his daughter into visiting Kaleem Shaheed Colony from where he took her to a house and sexually abused her at gunpoint.
In another case, police said that accused Afzal lured a 12-year-old child, promising her money, while she had been on her way to collect rations from a house in D-Ground area of People's Colony and allegedly raped her.
In Chak No. 233 RB, a 14-year-old teenager was raped by accused Ali and two others.
Police had registered separate cases against the accused and started searching for them.
A woman had lodged a complaint with the police in Khurrianwala on May 19, in which she alleged that her husband had sexually abused her 11-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.
According to police, the complainant, Nusrat Parveen, stated in her case that her husband, Sajjad Ahmed, had sexually abused his stepdaughter. She alleged that Sajjad would often secretly mix their food with some sleeping pills that made them fall asleep.
Nusrat Parveen said that when she woke up at 11 pm on May 15 to have some water she saw her husband had been sexually assaulting his stepdaughter. The complainant said that she screamed at the top of her voice which alerted the neighbours who gathered in her house to catch Sajjad, but before they could do so the suspect escaped.
