Social media users demand cleric’s arrest over child molestation
KARACHI: Social media users have shown outrage over a cleric accused of molesting a student in a mosque and demanded strict action against him.
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.
As per the police reports, the child was not raped. The accused ‘was carrying out unethical acts’, the officer claimed. SHO Wassano mentioned having received video footage from another student accusing Qari Abbas of rape however, the police did not take any action at the time since there was no official complaint.

Monsters have no morality. Despite the facts, our beloved maulana saibs are silent. If your silent against brutal activities then you are also part of it. #arrestqariabbas pic.twitter.com/jb7TtXDRfm
