Separate cases have been filed against a police constable, a cleric, and a veterinary doctor for allegedly being involved in child abuse.
In the first incident, a case was registered against seven people, including Qari Huzaifa, a teacher of a religious seminary in Basti Himayat Abad.
The accused allegedly raped an 8-year-old boy named Usman.
The police have arrested Huzaifa and started an investigation.
In another incident, a case was registered against Police Constable Umar Sargana, who is posted in the same police station.
It was alleged that Umar Sargana and three others shot and injured 12-year-old Muhammad Ali when he resisted their attempt to rape him.
It is worth noting that Umar Sargana was already booked for raping a woman during a robbery and stealing jewelry, and he was reinstated a few days ago.

The City Channo police arrested Dr. Tayyab and registered a case against him under section 376 of the Penal Code.
