RAHIM YAR KHAN: A seminary teacher allegedly raped five of his minor students during a week in the Bhutta Wahan area of tesil Sadiqabad.

Reports said a qari of Madrasa Alqadria Bhutta Wahan in the Sadiqabad Saddar police area raped several boys while teaching them.

Some of the students told their parents that their teacher raped five students, aged between 10 and 12.

The students also disclosed to their parents that the teacher issued them death threats if they told anyone about the matter. The children got terrified at the threats.

When the parents of the children informed police, the suspect succeeded in escaping before police raided the madrasa. The minor victims were sent to the Sadiqabad Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) Hospital for a medical examination.

According to police sources, District Police Officer Akhtar Farooq formed a team to arrest the suspect. However, neither the teacher was arrested nor was the first information report (FIR) registered against him when this report was filed. The police spokesperson did not attend the calls.
