Criminal investigations in Pakistan

Overview

Criminal investigations have been reported in Peshawar and Balochistan. In Peshawar, an Afghan national was arrested for allegedly attempting to exhume and abuse deceased girls in a graveyard.

In Balochistan, authorities are investigating a case involving a four-year-old girl and a 60-year-old man, an incident that is testing the Balochistan Child Marriages Restraint Act 2025. The accused man has fled to Afghanistan, while the girl’s father and the man’s brother have been arrested. This investigation is linked to the death of the girl’s 14-year-old sister, who was found dead in Kuchlak; her husband has been arrested on murder charges. The girl’s father alleges the family was coerced into the marriage arrangement and that the 14-year-old was beaten to death following a refusal to hand over another daughter.
