The notorious gang only came to notice reportedly six months after the incident happened. Despite, social media becoming a powerful tool, there has been an exponential rise in various crimes, particularly sex crimes.
Recently, a video of JUI-F leader and administrator Mufti Aziz-Ur-Rehman circulated all over social media where he could be seen sexually abusing a madrasa student. The heinous act took place on the 15th of June at the Jamia Manzoor Islamia madrassa.
In the video being circulated, the face of the victim can be seen, which is why the circulation of the video was being inhibited to keep his anonymity.

The video was also shown to the son of the culprit Iltaf-ur-Rehman, who was later told to give his father the message of leaving the institution.
