A seven-year-old Pakistani girl was allegedly raped by her school teacher in Karachi, police said today. “The accused sexually assaulted the girl in the bathroom of the school during the recess period,” police was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.
Father of the victim informed the police of the incident. An FIR was registered and the accused was arrested yesterday.
Crimes of assault and rape against girls are on a rise in the country despite strict laws. Earlier this month, a seminary teacher raped a college girl with his two friends in a moving car in northwestern city of Manshera in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. PTI
