Kasur back in spotlight as remains found of 3 minor boys killed after suspected sexual assault
|
 [DAWN] The remains of three minor boys whom police suspect were murdered after being sexually assaulted were found on Tuesday in Punjab's Kasur district, which has garnered international attention for recurring incidents of child sexual abuse in recent years.

According to police, two of the children were reported missing in Kasur's Chunian tehsil last month while the third had gone missing two days ago. On the indication of a local worker, police found the body of one of the boys and the skeletal remains of the other two at a deserted place in Chunian Industrial Estate area.
It wasn't immediately clear how the three children were killed but Kasur District Police Officer (DPO) Abdul Ghaffar Qaisrani said police suspected the victims were sexually assaulted before being murdered. More information will become evident once the postmortem examination of the remains is completed, he added.
Residents in Chunian told DawnNewsTV that five children ‐ one of them aged 12 and another eight years old ‐ in the area had gone missing in recent months; the remains of three of them have now been found.
The development comes a day after scores of people staged a protest demonstration in Kasur against what they called the failure of the Chunian police to recover three missing minors and curb the incidence of child abduction. They had dispersed after the local administration assured them of resolving the cases.
Police today collected evidence from the area as an investigation into their deaths went underway.
DPO Qaisrani said three teams had been formed to investigate the cases and a mobile lab of the Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
Forensic Science Agency had also arrived in the area to collect evidence. He said they were hopeful that the culprit(s) will be arrested within a day or two.
Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar took notice of the children's deaths and sought a briefing from the provincial police chief. Punjab Inspector General of Police Arif Nawaz Khan directed the Kasur DPO to submit a report into the incident.
The deaths are an uneasy reminder of the horrific rape and murder of six-year-old girl Zainab Ansari ‐ a case which sparked widespread outrage and protests across the country after the minor's body was found in a trash heap in Kasur in January 2018.
