Kiya such hai kiya jhoot much nahee pata.

I hate social media which shows everything they dont confirm.

Now you know why capital punishment is not a good idea in a country where the police and judiciary can not give a fair chance to the accused. Science saved the man from going to the gallows.

Do those who blamed Imam, Muezzin, and Mosque have something to say now? Do they have courage to apologize? We should not jump to conclusions; rather we should ask for justice.

,ujay nai lagta ye such hay

i dont think so

but why would that guy confess if he hasn't done it? and Pakistan does not have DNA database of it's citizens so how did that test lead to the arrest of this guy, something is really fishy here

The last part is extrememly murky. Why would the muezzin confess if he hadn't done it, saying the devil led him to do it. And what does the police mean when they say that that confession was unrelated to this case? What case was it related to then?

@Emjay , Pakistan mei kuch bhi ho sakta hai.

With the police anybody will agree to doing anything anytime.

This looks completely concocted......in order to save the mullah.......I wonder who instructed the police to do this.

he is looking too young

Sad!

@Parvez yes definitely police trying to protect the mullah.

Last time i checked, DNA evidence cant confirm anything until the child at the barbershop agrees to give a DNA sample. How on earth did the Police "search" the teenager before taking his sample. Pakistan does not have a DNA database. this is seriously fishy

then why did he confessed earlier, blaming devil. Was that for something else, why police denying earlier confession?

I should say that both parties "Mulla Party" and "Liberal party" please calm down and respect each other and think about it. where we are going. what we are leaving behind for our kids? we need ahmed dedat and zakir naik to know how to deal with argument without using your hands. this is a so called Psycho-virus which is spreading very fast, it should be tackle quickly before it get hurt everyone in the society.

"the goodness of my heart"-- after confessing to assault and murder of a child! What an unfortunate phrase!

Yeah right , this kid assaulted and then hung a 6 yr old ... Total cover up ! ... Sad

Lol, the mullah confesses but the confession is thrown out because mullahs are untouchable!!!! Can the news media please investigate what his "unrelated" confession was about? Another injustice in the making!!!!

The story is insult to intelligence. The money is valuable than blood of innocent in Pakistan. Can we trust police to arrest and investigate also? The investigating part be separated from arresting police officials. Police and wolf!!!! How innocent sheep could be trusted with them.

@ImranShah. You dont need a DNA database when you have DNA samples from the victim and crime scene and then several suspects to match the DNA with.

If the mullah admitted to the crime, what made police to suspect the young barber. Some body worked behind this case to frame that boy.

A few things are very wrong with this story. Even before the said video circulated on social media, it was the police that had informed the press that the Muezzin, Qari Saqib, had confessed. So nobody jumped to conclusions because of the video -- conclusions were drawn because of the reported confession. Was the police questioned by the reporter on how a confession was extracted from a supposedly innocent man within days of the crime? Second, where did that video come from? Who is the man in the video and if he is the muezzin, how is he free (and working in a position of authority in a place where he regularly interacts with children) after confessing to raping a child and murdering him -- even if wasn't the child in question? Was the police questioned on whether the video itself is fake (meaning there are people pretending to be police officers flanking the confessor)? And if the muezzin indeed is in that video, why in God's name is he free? Oh, and why is the police making videos of a rapist's confessions "made from the goodness of their hearts" in the first place? So many questions, none of them asked by this report. Likely just a reproduction of a press release circulated by the police. That is not the way Pakistan's largest English newspaper should be reporting an incredibly barbaric crime. Just saying.

Like Omer Sharif said, in Pakistani police's custody, a deer can confess to be an elephant.

the way the child was hung needs an adult with strong arm it cannot possibly the work of teenager whose picture is posted it's the work of molvi because the mosque is their domain and how the hair dresser got such a long opportunity to molest, kill and hang the child. where was mollvi and besides him nobody was there?

@Salman Earlier it was reported that the victim was hanged from the roof. The latest news report says the victim was found strangled on the roof. Which one is correct only the police knows.

We'll never know who did what, thanks to the sheer corruptness ineptness of the government, police, judiciary etc

@ImranShah DNA database is not required for that. DNA database is required only when suspect is missing. they took the traces from the victim and matched it with the suspect they arrested. Pakistan and India are full of people with low IQ.

"I wasn't tortured by police and am giving my confession out of the goodness of my heart," Torture is a bad thing boy, under torture one would confess anything to stop pain.
