RAWALPINDI: Police on Thursday arrested the headmaster of a primary school for girls in Kalar Syedan after students accused him of attempting to sexually assault them during school hours.

A fifth grade student from the school refused to go to school on Thursday and told her parents that the suspect had been attempting to assault her for the last month.

The child’s father then went to the police with his daughter’s allegation.

The victim revealed to her mother that the headmaster had allegedly attempted to assault two other students, including one of her classmates, as well.

Police said the suspect has been arrested after a criminal case was registered against him.
