Police have registered a case against the principal of a private college in Bahawalpur over the alleged rape of a 17-year-old first-year student. The accused has not yet been arrested, while police have confirmed that an investigation into the complaint is underway.
According to the complaint filed by the student’s father, the alleged incident took place on November 3 in Mauza Khanpur Mirchan. The father stated that his daughter was waiting outside the college gate to return home when the principal allegedly called her into his office and sexually assaulted her.
The complainant said his daughter disclosed the alleged incident to her family after returning home and explained what had happened. He further claimed that members of his biradari had discouraged him from approaching the police, which delayed the registration of the complaint. He eventually decided to seek legal action against the accused.
A Musafirkhana police official confirmed that a case had been registered and said the allegations were being investigated. The suspect remains unarrested, according to the report.
Meanwhile, the victim’s parents have appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to intervene in the matter. They have called for immediate action and urged the authorities to direct police to arrest the suspect.
The case remains under investigation, and the allegations against the college principal have yet to be established through legal proceedings.
