ISLAMABAD – The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has arrested a man accused of producing and distributing child pornography on the social media platform TikTok.
The suspect, identified as Hussain, was presented before a judicial magistrate. The investigation officer (IO) requested a 14-day physical remand to interrogate him further and recover digital evidence. However, the court approved only a two-day remand, directing authorities to present the suspect again on October 1, 2025.
The case began after the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) forwarded a complaint. According to the first information report (FIR), TikTok flagged and reported explicit content involving a boy under 13, allegedly recorded by the suspect. The incident was reported on August 16, 2025, through NCMEC’s CyberTipline.
Investigators traced the TikTok account using subscriber details and call records provided by the telecom operator. The account was linked to Hussain, a resident of Jalapur, Pirwala in Multan.
Authorities believe Hussain was actively involved in online exploitation, falling under child pornography offenses defined in Section 22 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Amended) 2025. The NCCIA confirmed that further investigations are underway to identify possible accomplices and recover additional devices used in the crime.
This case highlights growing concerns about the misuse of social media platforms for child pornography and online exploitation. Officials have emphasized stricter monitoring and international cooperation to combat such crimes.
The arrest sends a strong message that Pakistani authorities, working with global partners, are committed to taking swift action against individuals involved in child abuse and digital exploitation.
