Days after the gang-rape of a minor girl, a principal and two other employees of a private school in Pakistan's Punjab province have been accused of sodomising a five-year-old boy.
The family of the nursery student from Faisalabad city alleged that the principal, Mohammad Munir, and two other men subjected the boy to severe torture and sodomised him in a room of Dar-e-Arqam school on Wednesday.
Police in Faisalabad, 150 km from Lahore, said they had arrested Munir and were conducting raids to nab the two other accused.
The boy was found lying unconscious when his teachers searched for him in the school building after classes ended. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors described his condition as critical.
The boy's family staged a protest today and demanded exemplary punishment be given to the accused.
People across Pakistan were outraged when a five-year-old girl was gang-raped in Lahore recently. Police are yet to arrest her rapists.
