Another case of alleged sexual assault of minor surfaces in Karachi

Another case of sexual assault of a minor has surfaced in the city on Saturday. According to police, the suspect - a man named Tanveer - allegedly assaulted the six-year-old boy in a bakery on January 8. The accused was arrested from the jurisdiction of the Napier Police Station, police officials said. The accused was produced before the Judicial Magistrates (South) court Saturday, where he was remanded into police custody for two days.
The incident is the latest in a string of similar incidents of child abuse which emerged just as the country reeled from the brutal rape and murder of a seven-year-old girl, Zainab, in Kasur earlier this month. On Friday, a 10-year-old boy went missing but was returned home by his alleged kidnapper on Saturday morning. According to the child's uncle, an unknown man lured the minor into going with him by offering him to buy candy.
The man dropped off the child in the morning near his house, the uncle said. The boy reportedly has no signs of torture on his body.
