Karachi man arrested over alleged involvement in child pornography

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has arrested a man for allegedly running online groups and selling explicit content involving minors.

An electronic device used by the suspect was seized and a case was registered against him.

The NCCIA produced the suspect before a judicial magistrate (East) in the case involving the alleged child pornography and sought his physical remand for further investigation.

The investigating officer told the court that an inquiry against the suspect had been initiated on the basis of a report by the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.

The officer said that the NCCIA arrested the suspect during a raid in the Lines Area. An initial technical examination of his mobile phone allegedly revealed objectionable material, and the suspect was found to be involved in disseminating obscene videos of children, the officer claimed.

The investigating officer requested the suspect’s physical remand for further investigation.

After hearing the IO, the court remanded the suspect in the NCCIA custody for four days.
