According to the police, on October 17, 2007 a report was lodged by Shafeeq Ahmed on behalf of the complainant Nasib-Ullah mentioning that two teachers namely Mohd Ayoub and Shahzad Manhas and one Ghulam Mustafa Manhas committed gang rape with two students of 6th and 8th class.
Accordingly, a case FIR No.152 for commission of offence under Section 342 RPC was registered in Police Station Surankote and after completion of investigation challan was presented in the court of law.
After hearing both the sides, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “trial in this case has taken about seven years and the accused during this period were in custody. As there was a fiduciary relationship between the accused and the minor prosecutrix being in their custody and they were trustees, it became a case where fence itself eats the crop”, the court said while awarding 10 years rigorous imprisonment to Shahzad Alam and Ghulam Mustafa. However, the court acquitted Mohd Ayub as prosecution failed to prove case against him.
