Pakistan: Former JUI-F leader and cleric Mufti Azizur Rehman admits he sexually abused a student

Islamabad:  Former JUI-F leader and cleric Mufti Azizur Rehman has confessed during his interrogation that he sexually abused a student.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) investigations Shariq Jamal Khan, while speaking to Dawn News, said the cleric had confessed that the incident's video, which went viral on social media a few days ago, had featured him and was secretly filmed by the student who was being sexually abused.

"I made the student a target of my lust with the lure of passing him [in his exams]," he admitted to the police.

The cleric added that he was afraid and worried once the video went viral on social media and his sons had attempted to threaten the student and stop him from mentioning the incident to anyone, the newspaper reported.

"I released the video statement because I did not want to leave the madrassah. The madrassah administration had already told me to leave," the DIG quoted him as saying.

"I am very ashamed of what I did," he said during the interrogation.

Police had earlier arrested him.

He has been arrested days after a video went viral where Rahman could be seen sexually abusing a seminary student.

The student had said Rehman sexually abused him, while the cleric's sons started blackmailing him and threatened to kill him, reports Geo News.
