A disturbing case has emerged from the Pirwadhai area of Rawalpindi, where the principal of a private academy has been accused of repeatedly raping a matric student under the pretense of marriage and exam preparation, ultimately leading to two pregnancies and a forced abortion.

 

According to the FIR registered by Rawalpindi police, Ziaur Rehman, principal of Asad Academy in Khayaban-e-Sir Syed, allegedly exploited his position by calling the student to the academy on the pretext of helping her prepare for exams. 

 

The student stated that on May 21, 2025, she was summoned by the suspect  but upon arrival found the academy empty. She said, "All the students had left, and the principal was alone. He locked the doors and raped me. He threatened me not to tell anyone."

 

The student revealed that Rehman had initially proposed marriage, saying, "I have no children, marry me." She refused and asked him to speak to her parents if he was serious. However, she claimed he began manipulating her emotionally and academically, offering better grades and tuition support while gradually getting closer.

 

After the first assault, the student became pregnant. She said, "He took me to a private clinic in Saddar for a check-up and gave me medicine. I didn’t know what it was, but after using it, I fell ill. Later I found out it was for abortion." She added, "When he learned about the miscarriage, he said, 'Now you are not fit to marry anyone else. I will marry you, but I need time.'"

 

The FIR further alleges that in July, Rehman raped her again inside the academy office and continued to blackmail and assault her over time, resulting in a second pregnancy. The student said, "When I insisted on marriage, he began mentally and physically torturing me. I was under immense stress due to my family's honor, and the pregnancy ended on its own."

 

In her statement, the student said, "Ziaur Rehman used the sacred profession of teaching to deceive me with false promises of marriage, raped me, got me pregnant, and then forced an abortion. He destroyed my life. I request justice and strict action against him."

 

Rawalpindi police confirmed that a case has been registered under charges of rape and forced abortion. Further investigation is underway.
