PESHAWAR: A man who was arrested following allegations of child abuse has confessed to molesting the child.
According to Gulberg police department, paedophile Farman was arrested on October 3 for reportedly sexually harassing a minor.
According to the first information report (FIR) registered against him, Farman would take girls around seven to 13 years old in quiet streets and sexually harass them. Afterwards, he threatened to kill the girls, instilling fear in them so that they would remain mum.
During the investigation, the accused confessed to committing his perversion and carrying out the heinous deeds.
Following Farman’s confession, Peshawar police constituted a three-member committee under the supervision of the Cantonment superintendent of police (SP).
The number of child abuse cases being reported is rising in all parts of the country.
Considering the situation which was under the blanket for a long time, the Sindh education department has recently announced to include a subject on harassment in order to spread awareness among children and to educate them on how to protect themselves.
