Teacher arrested for allegedly raping 100 schoolchildren in Punjab

A teacher who allegedly raped more than 100 schoolchildren in the Nawan Kot town of the Khanpur tehsil of Rahim Yar Khan Punjab has been arrested. 

The matter came to light when a resident of a village near Nawan Kot town filed a complaint with the Khanpur Sadar police station on condition of anonymity.

In a statement given to the police, the citizen said that he is a resident of Saidpur village in Liaquatpur tehsil and does business in Nawan Kot, and his 14-year-old cousin is an eighth-grade student at Nawan Kot School.

He said that my cousin told in the presence of 2 witnesses that a few days ago, his private school teacher (a resident of Chak 195-NP) raped him and also made a video of this heinous act.

He added, “He went to the teacher with his victim cousin and two witnesses, who at first made excuses but later confessed to raping the student and making the video.”

The person said that when they checked the teacher’s mobile phone, they also found indecent videos of some other boys. This teacher had raped my cousin 5 to 6 months ago and had made objectionable videos of other boys, so the police should take action against this crime.

Later, when the matter came to light in the social circles of the area, the police registered a First Information Report under sections ‘376 III’ and ‘292’ of the Pakistan Penal Code at Saddar Khanpur Police Station and arrested the accused.

The cousin of the victim student further said that the private school is run by a person named Irfan Chaudhry, a resident of Nawan Kot, where 23 female teachers and 2 male teachers, including the principal and the accused, teach.

He said that due to the good number of students, the Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) took the school under its administrative control while the police took immediate action on their complaint.

Another relative of the victim student told media that it is possible that the accused was in contact with the dark web and pornography platforms.
