Musafirkhana police have registered a case against the principal of a private college for the alleged rape of a 17-year-old first-year student in Khanpur Mirchan, Bahawalpur. No arrest has been made so far.
According to the account of the incident included in the complaint filed by the girl’s father, she was waiting at the college gate on November 3 to go home when the principal took her into his office and allegedly raped her.
The father said his daughter told the family what happened after she returned home. He also claimed that members of his family discouraged him from approaching the police, which delayed the complaint, but he eventually decided to seek legal action against the suspect.
A Musafirkhana police official confirmed that a case has been registered and is under investigation.
The girl’s parents have appealed to the Punjab chief minister to direct police to act immediately and arrest the suspect.
