KARACHI, July 8, 2026: Police have arrested a man in Karachi’s Baldia Town after he allegedly confessed to killing his 17-year-old son following severe torture at their home in Gulshan-e-Ghazi.

According to police, the teenager had been missing from home for six to seven days and the family had been searching for him. When he returned home, his father allegedly tied him to a charpoy and beat him with sticks and other objects.

The victim was the eldest of four brothers. Police said the arrested suspect, a rickshaw driver originally from Swabi, has been booked in a murder case.
