    Nearly 2,000 child abuse cases reported in Pakista…

    Pakistan recorded 1,914 reported cases of child abuse during the first six months of 2026, with child sexual abuse making up the largest share of incidents, according to a new report released by child rights organisation Sahil. The report, based on cases published in national and regional newspapers, revealed that 1,015 children were victims of sexual abuse between January and June. It also documented 558 abductions, 101 missing children, 35 child marriages and 98 cases involving child pornography linked to sexual abuse. In addition, 49 newborn babies were found abandoned in different parts of the country during the reporting period. Girls accounted for 58 percent of the reported victims, while children between the ages of 11 and 15 were identified as the most vulnerable group. The report also noted that children aged 16 to 18 and those between six and 10 years old were among the frequently affected age groups. According to Sahil, many victims were abused by people they knew. Acquaintances were identified as the alleged perpetrators in 43 percent of the reported cases, while strangers accounted for 34 percent. The findings further showed that nearly half of the abuse incidents occurred inside the victims’ homes, highlighting the hidden nature of child abuse. Other cases took place in the homes of the accused or at various public locations, while the location was not specified in several reports. Urban areas recorded a higher number of reported incidents than rural regions. Punjab accounted for around 80 percent of all reported child abuse cases nationwide, followed by Sindh with 15 percent. The remaining cases were reported from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Islamabad Capital Territory, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan. The report also stated that police registered cases in 89 percent of the reported incidents. However, a small number of cases were either not reported to law enforcement or allegedly faced refusal in the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), while the registration status of some cases remained unknown.

    Delhi internet cut as student protests escalate

    The Indian government has reportedly suspended mobile internet services in several parts of central New Delhi as nationwide protests over examination paper leaks continue to gain momentum. The move came amid heightened security and growing demonstrations led by students and youth groups demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in the country’s examination system. According to informed sources, telecom companies were instructed to disable mobile data services in and around the main protest sites in central Delhi. The internet restrictions affected thousands of residents, commuters and businesses in the area. The suspension caused significant disruption to daily life. Shopkeepers, restaurants and street vendors reported difficulties accepting digital payments because many businesses in India rely heavily on internet-based payment systems. Residents also experienced problems accessing online services and communication platforms. The protests have continued for more than a month, with students camping in central Delhi and demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Demonstrators accuse the government of failing to prevent examination paper leaks that reportedly affected nearly two million students across the country. Student leaders say the paper leak scandal has seriously damaged confidence in India’s examination system and has put the future of millions of young people at risk. They insist the demonstrations will continue until those responsible are held accountable and meaningful reforms are introduced. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently addressed the controversy and promised strict action against individuals involved in examination fraud. He said the future of India’s youth remains a national priority and announced plans to establish fast-track courts to ensure speedy trials in paper leak cases. However, opposition leaders argued that the government’s response does not go far enough. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi renewed his demand for the dismissal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing the government of failing to protect the country’s education system and the interests of students. The demonstrations intensified after security forces attempted to stop protesters marching toward Parliament during the monsoon session. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse crowds after protesters tried to breach security barriers. Clashes later broke out, leaving scores of protesters and security personnel injured. Following the unrest, authorities increased security across central Delhi by deploying additional police personnel, strengthening barricades and monitoring key government buildings to prevent further violence. The protest movement, which initially focused on examination paper leaks, has gradually expanded into a broader campaign highlighting concerns over unemployment, educational opportunities and governance. Protest organisers say the issue is no longer limited to examination irregularities but has become a wider movement demanding transparency, accountability and reforms.

    Bangladesh moves toward talks with China to buy J-…

    Bangladesh is preparing to begin formal discussions with China over a possible purchase of J-10CE fighter jets and attack helicopters according to a government adviser. Prime Minister’s Information and Broadcasting Adviser Zahed Ur Rahman said Tuesday that a government committee is working on a draft agreement that could pave the way for negotiations with Beijing. The potential deal would represent one of Bangladesh’s largest defence purchases in recent years and could further strengthen the country’s military relationship with China. Beijing is already Bangladesh’s biggest supplier of defence equipment. The J-10CE fighter jet has received increased international attention since fighting between India and Pakistan in May 2025. Pakistan said its J-10CE aircraft were involved in shooting down Indian fighter jets during the clashes. India has disputed those claims. Ur Rahman said Bangladesh had observed reports about the aircraft’s performance during the conflict as it considers options to modernise its air force. Bangladesh is reportedly considering purchasing as many as 24 J-10CE fighter jets although officials have not confirmed the final number. Pakistan is currently the only confirmed foreign operator of the export version of the Chinese aircraft. The adviser did not reveal how many jets Bangladesh could ultimately purchase the expected cost of the agreement or when deliveries might begin. Those details, he said, would be decided during negotiations. The possible fighter-jet purchase comes as Bangladesh seeks to upgrade its military capabilities. The country has maintained close defence ties with China for years with Beijing supplying a wide range of military equipment. Over the past two decades, China has provided Bangladesh with warships, fighter aircraft, tanks and missile systems, making it Dhaka’s largest source of military hardware. If Bangladesh proceeds with the J-10CE acquisition, the move could further deepen defence cooperation between Dhaka and Beijing while giving Bangladesh a modern multirole fighter capable of performing air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.
