The rumors also indicated that this has been going on for years.

Education Ministry confirmed that its investigation had so far shown that these rumors were true.

“So far, it seems that the actions reported by students regarding Hassan Zareer are true. The Ministry does not believe that this should be the conduct of someone who is in a position of trust.” read the statement by the Ministry.
