A judicial magistrate on 22-October-2024 remanded a suspect in judicial custody in a case pertaining to wrongful confinement and torture of a minor boy.

Suspect Muhammad Deen was arrested on 21-October-2024 after a video of him beating the nine-year-old boy with his hands tied at his laundry shop went viral on social media. The investigating officer produced the suspect before the judicial magistrate (Central) and sought his 14-day remand for the completion of the investigation.

The IO stated that the suspect’s custody is required to record he statement of the victim under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in his presence before the magistrate and complete other legal formalities, including checking, if any, his criminal record.

The magistrate, however, sent the suspect to jail on judicial remand after the complainant’s lawyer informed the court that his client had patched up with the suspect. An FIR was lodged at the Paposh Nagar police station under sections 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement), 364-A (kidnapping or abducting a person under the age of fourteen), 328-A (cruelty to a child), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 337-A (causing hurt to any person), and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of Pakistan Penal Code on the complaint of the victim’s brother Zeeshan Amir Masih.

As per the FIR, the complainant stated that he saw a viral video in which suspect was using abusive language and torturing his younger brother Harry with his hands tied up at his laundry shop near Alamgir Masjid in Aurangabad.
