PESHAWAR: A transgender individual, who works as a nurse, was arrested in Peshawar for attempting to marry a young madrassa student by deceiving her through social media.
The incident took place in the Chamkani area, where Iftikhar, a transgender person, befriended the student online and lured her to his house under the false pretense of marriage.
According to the police, Iftikhar, who is a professional nurse, was arrested after the missing student was recovered from his house in October.
Following the girl's statement, the police relocated her to Dar-ul-Uloom for safety and further support. The investigation into the matter continues as authorities question the suspect about the alleged abduction.
