BAHAWALPUR / FAISALABAD: A four-year-old schoolboy was allegedly gang-raped by a school principal and his accomplices in Faisalabad on Wednesday. Angry relatives of the boy staged a demonstration against the school administration and demanded the public hanging of the principal and others involved, besides closing down the school.
The protesters also burnt tyres and blocked the main Narwala Road, suspending traffic. The father of the four-year-old victim told the media that his son, M*, was a kindergarten student at the Dar-e-Arqam School where he was subjected to gang rape by the school principal, the watchman and two others.
“My son was subjected to sexual and physical abuse. He was seriously injured. They left him there, lying unconscious, in the school building after the assault.”
Investigation Officer Sub-Inspector Arif said during the initial investigation, the victim said he was sexually abused by the four accused. “The school principal and watchman were arrested, while a team has been constituted to arrest the remaining men,” he added.
SHO Gulberg Qaisar Younus said that a case under Sections 376 (punishment of rape) and 377 (unnatural offences) of the Pakistan Penal Code has been lodged. Further action will be taken once the medical examination report is in, he added.
