      BOOM took a screenshot from the viral video and checked it on reverse image search engine TinEye. We found an article published on web portal Daily Pakistan on October 10, 2018 which had screengrabs from the same video.

      The article stated the name of the accused as Anwar-ul-Qamar, a teacher in Jhang area of Pakistan. We then looked up the internet with keywords 'Anwar-ul-Qamar', 'Pakistani teacher', 'molestation', and 'Pakistan'.

      BOOM came across several news reports and tweets on the disturbing incident.

      A report published on Pakistani website Geo.TV on October 10, 2018 states that the man seen in the video, Anwar-ul-Qamar, had 'been arrested for sexually harassing a student and making a video two months back'.

      The report has quoted the police and mentioned that Qamar, a schoolteacher in Jhang, had sexually harassed a 13-year-old girl and shot a video. "Following this, Qamar's mobile phone went missing and the person who got hold of the phone had uploaded the video on internet," the Geo TV article stated.

      The article also carried tweets of Pakistani Federal minister for Human Rights, Shireen Mazari, detailing the incident and the arrest of Anwar-ul-Qamar.

      Another report published in The Express Tribune states that Qamar was a Qaari Sahab, a person meant to teach the Quran at mosques and to little children.
