KARACHI: Days after the bone-shaking incident in Kasur, where 7-year-old minor was raped and dumped in a pile of trash, another spine-chilling story has emerged from the Ibrahim Hyderi area of Karachi. A guard of a private school was arrested on Friday after a five-year-old girl informed her parents of his alleged attempted to abduct and rape her. The minor’s parents said she told them about the incident when she returned home from school on Thursday. Her family reached the school today and people gathered around school near Bainazir Chowk and beat up the guard afterwards, people also vandalized the school property for giving inappropriate security arrangements. According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rao Anwer, guard Eiddu harassed minor girl on Thursday, which she complained with parents, who tortured the guard on early today morning. He confirmed that the suspect was arrested and was being interrogated regarding the alleged incident. Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the issue and directed DIG East to submit a detailed inquiry report on the incident. The incident comes at a time of heated debate on child sexual abuse incidents taking place countrywide, after seven-year-old Zainab was found raped and murdered in Kasur earlier this week. The incident triggered widespread protests and condemnation from all quarters, while sparking the need for child abuse awareness program in the country. Social activists urged all parents to talk, without delay, to their children about child abuse awareness and the need to inform immediately if they ever experience or witness any incident of abuse.
