Police in Sargodha have arrested two individuals accused of sexually assaulting two minor siblings and allegedly recording a video of the incident.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the suspects allegedly uploaded the video involving the children to a dark web website.
The case has prompted police to begin a detailed investigation into the allegations. Authorities are also examining how the alleged video was recorded and distributed.
The Sargodha District Police Officer said both children have undergone a medical examination.
The officer said the allegations will be assessed after the medical report is received. Police will use the findings as part of the ongoing investigation.
Legal proceedings have been initiated against the suspects. Further investigation is currently underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident.
Authorities have not released the identities of the children or suspects to protect the minors involved in the case.
The incident has once again raised serious concerns about child safety and the growing threat of online exploitation involving minors.
Earlier this month, another disturbing case involving a child was reported in Sargodha.
The body of five-year-old Ayat Noor was recovered from a well at a warehouse on University Road after an extensive search lasting two weeks.
The search began after the child reportedly left her home to play and did not return.
Police said the girl was allegedly sexually assaulted and murdered before her body was thrown into the well.
Three suspects were detained during the investigation. One suspect allegedly confessed before a judge to sexually assaulting the child.
Two suspects are currently in jail, while the third remains in police custody as the investigation continues.
Authorities have not released further details about the motive or the exact timeline of events in the case.
The cases have drawn significant attention in the area. They have also intensified concerns about the safety of children and the need for stronger protection mechanisms.
Pakistan has witnessed several tragic cases involving children who were abducted, sexually assaulted or murdered.
In June, a three-year-old girl in Karachi’s Quaidabad was found dead inside a gunny bag near her home after she went out to play.
Post-mortem findings in that case reportedly indicated that the child had been sexually assaulted before her death.
In July, a six-year-old boy in Karachi was also reportedly raped and murdered by a neighbour.
The suspect allegedly confessed to the crime and disposed of the child’s body by throwing it from a building.
The latest Sargodha case has added to concerns surrounding crimes against children across Pakistan.
Police and other authorities face increasing pressure to investigate such cases quickly and ensure that those found responsible face legal action.
The investigation into the Sargodha siblings’ case remains ongoing. Police are expected to provide further details after the medical examination reports and other evidence are reviewed.
Authorities have also urged families and communities to remain vigilant about children’s safety, particularly as criminals increasingly use digital platforms to exploit vulnerable victims.
