KARACHI, Dec 13: While search was under way for the four men said to have been running a seminary where over 50 children and 14 men were found shackled during the previous night raid, investigators on Tuesday sounded convinced that the seminary was serving as a rehabilitation centre.
The police authorities and religious leaders agreed that a shortage of rehabilitation facilities had allowed an unregulated growth of such seminaries whose number had reached 700 in Karachi alone.
Officials at the Gulshan-i-Maymar police station said they were looking for the four suspects — Mufti Dawood, Qari Abdullah, Qari Qudratullah, Qari Fakharuddin — who were key members of Jamia Masjid Zakriya Kondal, situated near Afghan refugee camp, off the Superhighway.
“We have registered a case (FIR 273/2011) under Sections 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement), 344 (wrongful confinement for 10 or more days), 506-B (punishment for criminal intimidation), 337-1 (Shajjah) and 34 (common intention) against five persons,” said Gulshan-i-Maymar SHO Inspector Ahsanullah Marwat.
“One of the suspects, Muhammad Usman, nominated in the FIR has been arrested. Efforts are being made to arrest the four others, who we believe would have left the city after the raid was highlighted in the media. The children recovered are being handed over to their parents and relatives.”
However, he said none of the parents had so far blamed the seminary administration for detaining their children without their permission.
“They willingly handed over the children to the seminary due to their bad habits or drug addiction.”
He said some recovered men wanted severe action against the seminary for which they made baseless allegations such as the administration was giving military training to seminary students.
