A three-year old boy was allegedly raped in Sokari Hafizan area of Bannu Cantonment on Monday.
The boy's father, a resident of Sokari Karim Khan, told the Cantonment Police that he was visiting Hafizan to attend an event at a relative's place. He added that he had brought his three year-old son Bilal*, as well.
He recalled that that the boy, whose mother had died, was playing with other kids in the house when he went missing. Upon discovering that Bilal was missing, the family started searching for him.
The boy was later recovered from another house in the area in a semi-conscious state with bloods stains on his clothes.
The police took the minor to the hospital where doctors confirmed that he was sexually abused.
Bilal's father accused Sher Qayuum of sexually assaulting his son. The police then raided Qayuum's house and arrested him. They claimed that during initial investigations, the accused had confessed his crime.
He was subsequently presented in a local court which approved a day long remand in police custody.
