Police have arrested two serial child rapists accused of sexually assaulting more than 100 children in Karachi, media reports have stated. 

 

According to reports, East Investigation Police arrested the suspects from Mehmoodabad within the jurisdiction of Tipu Sultan Police Station, acting on intelligence information.

 

Officers identified the main suspect as Imran while his accomplice is named Waqas Khan.

 

According to SP Investigation Usman Sadozai, investigators made the arrests after a child identified the suspects during a targeted operation by a special investigation team.

 

Imran runs a puncture repair stall in the Mehmoodabad area and lives in Manzoor Colony.

 

Police revealed that between 2020 and 2025, seven cases of child sexual abuse reached police stations across four districts of Karachi including Malir, Korangi, East and South.

 

DNA analysis confirmed that the same person committed all the crimes, which raised a alarm among investigators. All victims were boys aged between 12 and 13 years, while in one case more than one person assaulted the child.

 

SP Sadozai said that Imran has confessed to sexually assaulting dozens of children over the past six years.

 

He reportedly lured victims by offering motorcycle rides and then took them to deserted areas near the Malir Nadi, where he committed the assaults.

 

In all seven registered cases, the accused's DNA matched the forensic evidence. In three cases, the victims positively identified Imran, while in one case the child identified both Imran and his accomplice Waqas Khan.

 

Police said that in one incident, the suspects attempted to take a child to Surjani Town but fled after the victim raised an alarm.

 

Police officials said that Additional Inspector General Karachi Azad Khan formed a special investigation team on January 6 under the supervision of DIG CIA Muqaddas Haider. The team, led by East Investigation, arrested the suspects within 11 days.

 

Further investigations are going on.
