SAHIWAL: Kameer Police registered a case against a prayer leader and a mosque caretaker and arrested them for allegedly molesting, raping and recording mobile videos of girl and boy students of their madressah at Chak 116/9-L, Ada Shabeel, Kameer Town.
Police booked the qari and the caretaker, residents of Ada Shabeel, under a complaint.
According to the report, the Qari had established a mosque and madressah, Jamia Noorul Quran, at Ada Shabeel, and he had a caretaker of the mosque as well as a fellow teacher. The qari was also known for writing amulets. Four weeks ago, a labourer from the same locality, took his sister-in-law to seek an amulet for a headache. The qari was absent and caretaker took the woman to a room where he raped her and recorded a compromising video in connivance with unknown student.
He later blackmailed her, threatening to release the video on social media and extorted money from her. The victim eventually confided in her brother-in-law. Following her complaint, the village elders confronted the qari. During the meeting, the caretaker’s mobile phone was checked and numerous videos of him as well the qari molesting and repaing students were found.
Videos of seminary students molesting each other in the presence of the caretaker were also found.
