The seminary teacher named Maulvi Ghulam Abbas Sehto is accused of molesting a 12-year-old boy at a mosque in Buddak village near Kandiaro, however, he was granted bail after the sexual misconduct.
A video circulated on social media showed the accused raping a 12-year-old victim. An FIR was registered against Ghulam Abbas Sehto by the student’s mother in Naushahro Feroze District, however, the accused was granted bail by a local court.
