KARACHI: The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) Karachi on Oct 29 claimed to have arrested two suspects allegedly involved in child sexual abuse.
Speaking at a press conference at his office, Addl Director NCCIA Mohammed Tariq Nawaz said the agency had conducted an operation in the metropolis in connection with ongoing enquiries into objectionable material relating to child sexual abuse. Two suspects, identified as Jazal Hasan and Arfeen Khan, were arrested, and two mobile devices were recovered from their possession.
“The technical examination of the digital devices revealed that WhatsApp accounts and multiple Gmail accounts were allegedly used for objectionable videos and graphics relating to child sexual abuse,” said the NCCIA official, adding that the victims were both local and foreigners.
Mr Nawaz told Dawn that both suspects had been arrested in separate actions in Karachi. He said Jazal had allegedly been involved in child sexual abuse material and its sale. The suspect had previously run a video shop but later created a WhatsApp group to share child sexual abuse material.
