Islamabad: Acting on the directives of Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi, authorities launched a targeted operation against individuals involved in cybercrimes, resulting in the arrest of a suspect accused of child sexual abuse.

The suspect, identified as Muhammad Muskeen, who had been teaching religious education to children, was apprehended in Abbottabad. He allegedly abused his position of trust to exploit minors, creating obscene videos and photos of the children, which were later shared online.

During the raid, law enforcement officials recovered four mobile phones, a laptop, a CPU, and an internet device from the suspect's possession. A forensic examination of the electronic devices uncovered 497 explicit images and videos of child abuse. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken the accused into custody, and a comprehensive investigation has been launched into his activities, according to an FIA spokesperson.
