Karachi Police Arrest Two Suspects After DNA Links Child Abuse Cases

Forensic matches identified by a special team formed on January 6 led to the arrests.

Overview

  • Police detained Imran and his alleged accomplice Waqas in the Tipu Sultan/Mehmoodabad area after a victim identified them, with plans to seek their remand in court.
  • Investigators say Sindh laboratory DNA matched a single profile across cases registered between 2020 and 2025 in multiple districts, with officials citing seven to nine complaints on record.
  • Authorities report that victims were boys aged 12 to 13, and police allege Imran lured children on a motorcycle to deserted areas near the Malir River.
  • Police say Imran, a puncture repairman from Manzoor Colony, confessed to abusing dozens of children over six years, while evidence links Waqas to at least one or two cases.
  • Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah praised the arrests, directed evidence-based prosecution with daily progress reports, and police are seeking additional victims amid suspicions of more than 100 incidents.
