KARACHI: A father has been arrested for brutally torturing his minor son in the Sindh Industrial Trading Estate (SITE) area, as reported by ARY News.
The shocking incident occurred in the Bawani Chali neighborhood, where the father, identified as Najibullah, allegedly beat his son with an iron rod and forced him to sit on a hot skillet (tawa).
A video of the child showing his burn injuries to a neighbor went viral, prompting authorities to take swift action. Police registered a case against Najibullah on behalf of the state and handed him over to the investigation unit for further inquiry.
During the initial investigation, SSP Kemari Faizan revealed that the accused justified his actions by claiming anger over his son’s habit of leaving home without informing the family.
The injured child has been shifted to a hospital for medical treatment.

Earlier this year, a similar case in Karachi involved two minor siblings, Ayaan and Anabiya, who accused their maternal aunt and grandmother of physical abuse.
The siblings had gone missing from North Nazimabad and were later found by a neighbor who provided them shelter for a night. In their initial statements, they alleged frequent mistreatment by their guardians.
The children were previously living with their uncle Rashid after their mother moved to Dubai for work following her divorce. Rashid confirmed that the family sought police assistance after unsuccessful attempts to locate the children.
