A man, allegedly a cleric, is seen sexually abusing an underage kid in a viral video. The unedited explicit video shows a man sexually abusing a boy in the video.
The face of the man and the boy is not clear in the video, however, the man seems to be in his middle-age. The video is secretly shot. So far, the whereabouts of the boy and the man are not clear. The video, however, has alarmed social media users regarding the protection of children studying in madrassas and seminaries.
Netizens have been voicing their anger, demanding the government to take stern measures to protect the honor and dignity of children. The video has not been shared in the article due to privacy and the code of conduct. PM Imran Khan in his latest interview had talked about the exponential rise in child abuse cases in Pakistan. He, however, said that such crimes largely go unreported since families are deterred to register complaints in fear of humiliation and disgrace.

Children on the other hand suffer from trauma throughout their lives. Pakistan has been witnessing growing incidents of sex crimes against children, however, lack of stern action coupled with lackluster progress against the culprits in such cases are attributed to the increase in such crimes despite being reported.

Recently, the video of JUI-F leader and administrator Mufti Aziz-Ur-Rehman had circulated all over social media where he could be seen sexually abusing a madrassa student. The heinous act took place on the 15th of June at the Jamia Manzoor Islamia madrassa.
In the video, the face of the victim can be seen, which is why the circulation of the video is being inhibited to keep his anonymity.
