A young boy was allegedly raped in Shikarpur, revealed the police on Monday. Two suspects were later arrested in connection with the incident.

The 10-year-old boy was reportedly kidnapped by two suspects, identified as Hamza alias Raja Jatoi and Aamir Shaikh, when he went outside his house to play in the street. He was allegedly raped and left outside his home.

The Lakhi Gate police have registered a case against the suspects, both of whom belong to Shaikh Muhalla of Shikarpur city, on the complaint of the victim’s cousin.
