The A-Section police of Dadu booked two suspects for allegedly subjecting a toddler to sexual assault in a dwelling inhabited by nomad families.
The boy, aged three/four years, was shifted to a hospital for medical examination and treatment.
Dadu SSP retired Captain Amir Saud Magsi assigned an inquiry into the matter to DSP City Sultan Ahmed Chandio.
The DSP along with other police personnel visited the hospital and inquired about the incident from the affected family.
The boy’s father stated that he and his family had been temporarily living in Dadu for some time. He claimed that they hosted two men who had come from Jhang, Punjab, as their guests. During their stay, he added, the suspects found an opportunity to sexually assault his son as all other family members were away from their hutment.
