The Lahore Police has finally arrested the Jamiat Ulema e Islam (JUI) leader Mufti Aziz Ur Rehman involved in a sexual abuse of a student at a Maddarrasa in Lahore.
The controversial video of Mufti Aziz ur Rehman doing rounds on social media had sparked controversy on many social media platforms and a heated debate regarding the Maddarris reforms and check on it was going on for the last few days.
In his tweet, IGP-Punjab police Inam Ghani said, “we have been able to arrest this criminal. We will take it as a test case, interrogate him, conduct scientific professional investigation, prosecute and get him convicted by the court.”
IGP further said, “We want our kids protected from these child molesters and keep our society safe for our future.”
However, Mufti Aziz has denied the accusation of sexual abuse in a video statement issued on social media, saying that he was drugged before the filming of the alleged abuse. He said this was part of a plot to throw him out of the seminary the Jamia Manzoorul Islamia.
The student, who police said appeared to be in his early 20s, said in his complaint that he has given several video and audio recordings to help police investigate, adding he had gone into hiding because he had received death threats.
On the other hand, JUI is yet to break its silence over the issue and has failed to utter a word against the Mufti involved in sexual abuse of a young student spotted clearly in the video.
