MULTAN, Pakistan (AP): Pakistani police arrested two Muslim clerics for allegedly raping a 10-yearold boy in a religious school in eastern Punjab province, officials said Sunday. Chaudhry Imran, a spokesman for the Khanewal district police, said the attack happened Saturday when the boy’s uncle went to visit his nephew and arrived to find him being raped by a cleric in a side room of the school while another cleric waited.

Imran said a complaint was filed by the boy’s uncle alleging the 10-year-old was abused by two clerics in the seminary where he has been studying for the last year. Imran said police did an initial investigation and then arrested two suspects. He said the boy was admitted to a local hospital suffering trauma and physical injuries. (AP)
