Pakistan court indicts ex-JUI leader Mufti Azizur Rehman, 5 sons for sexually abusing madrassah student
Islamabad: A Pakistani court on Monday indicted former Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI) leader Mufti Azizur Rehman and his five sons in a case of sexually abusing a student of his madressah, media reports said.
The cleric and his sons Ataur Rehman, Attiqur Rehman, Latifur Rehman, Altafur Rehman and Wasiur Rehman pleaded not guilty and decided to contest the trial, reports Dawn News.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Rana Rashid Ali directed the police to present the prosecution witnesses later this month on Oct 18.
A judicial magistrate dismissed the bail of Mufti Aziz. He is still in prison.
The Mufti approached the sessions court against the denial of his bail where his petition was still pending, reports Dawn News.
