Why was the imam of Rawalpindi mosque forced to beg as a eunuch?

In Rawalpindi’s Rawat area, an imam of the mosque was forced to beg as a eunuch after being unable to feed his family due to increasing inflation.

It has been reported on social media that a citizen of Rawat has filed a case at the local police station against a person named Muhammad Khan, the Imam of a mosque who led prayer and several funerals in the area.

The application further stated that after some time Muhammad Khan told the management committee of the mosque that he wanted to go abroad and sought permission.

According to the request, after getting permission from the committee, instead of going abroad, the accused started begging as a eunuch, which has badly hurt people in the area and strict action should be taken against the accused.

However, on the other hand, no action has been taken against the accused as per this request by the local police, and it is not clear why the accused left the responsibilities of the imam of the mosque to become a eunuch.

On the other hand, social media users are expressing the idea that the accused may have taken this step reportedly because of the low remuneration for leading prayers in the mosque. It should be noted that in most mosques across the country, imams and other service providers are given very obligatory salaries.
