Multan orphan boy killed after refusing forced labour, CCTV footage emerges
CCTV footage reveals alleged murder
Several CCTV videos from a private housing society in Multan reportedly show the boy being chased before a car ran over him. The footage from different camera angles has raised serious questions about the claim that his death was an accident.
The videos show the boy running away while the suspects follow him. Another camera captured the moment a speeding car allegedly ran over the boy, who died at the scene.
Suspects allegedly tried to portray death as accident
The suspects allegedly attempted to present the incident as a road accident. However, footage from multiple CCTV cameras appears to show a deliberate pursuit and the vehicle hitting the boy.
The videos have become important evidence in the case and may help investigators establish what happened. The allegations will need to be examined through the police investigation and legal proceedings.
Police arrest suspect and register murder case
Police took action after the incident and arrested a suspect identified as Tauqeer Nazir. A murder case was registered against him, while police also filed a case on their own complaint.
The investigation is continuing to establish the circumstances of the boy’s death and the alleged motive. Police said the initial investigation had found no evidence that the boy was involved in theft.
Investigation raises questions about forced labour
دماغ سُن ہو گیا ہے، کچھ سمجھ نہیں آ رہا کیا لکھوں۔ ہم کیسے جانوروں میں گھرے ہیں۔ بچے سے کوئی غلطی ہوئی بھی تھی تو اس سفاکیت سے اسے موت کے گھاٹ اتار دینا.... ملتان میں ہونے والی اس بربریت میں صرف ایک ملزم کو گرفتار کیا گیا ہے حالانکہ گاڑی سے دو درندے اترتے نظر آ رہے ہیں۔ وہ ایک بھی اب تک زندہ کیوں ہے؟ بچہ یتیم اور لاوارث بتایا جا رہا ہے۔ خون رائیگاں ہی جائے گا۔

The case has drawn attention to allegations that the boy was killed after refusing to work against his will. Investigators will need to establish the circumstances leading to the confrontation and determine who was involved.
The CCTV footage could help clarify the sequence of events and support further legal action. The allegations against the suspect must still be assessed through the proper legal process.
A serious case requiring accountability
The reported killing of a young orphan raises serious concerns about child safety and the possible exploitation of vulnerable children. If forced labour and deliberate killing are established, those responsible must face the law.
The investigation should carefully examine the CCTV footage, witness statements and other available evidence. A transparent investigation will be important to ensure justice for the victim.
