The accused was involved in creating indecent videos of his children, aged between four and five, which were then sold on secret Telegram groups using cryptocurrency. The investigation also uncovered disturbing animal abuse scenes in the videos. The gang's ringleader, who originated from Skardu, was arrested with assistance from international agencies. Khan reported that other network facilitators were being sought for arrest and that those involved in such heinous crimes would face justice.

The agency urged citizens to report cybercrimes, providing a 24/7 helpline number for complaints.",
