Local Court Sends Social Worker Sarim Burney to Jail on Human Trafficking Charges
On a recent Saturday, a local court made the decision to send well-known social worker Sarim Burney to jail on judicial remand in a case related to human trafficking. Burney, who is a prominent figure in the community, was taken into custody upon his arrival at the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi after returning from a trip to the United States.
Legal Proceedings and Investigation
During a hearing before Judicial Magistrate Khaleequ Zaman, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) requested an extension in the physical remand of Burney. The investigative body claimed that Burney had declared a baby girl as an orphan in a family court, raising suspicions about his involvement in human trafficking.
The FIA counsel expressed concerns that Burney was not cooperating with the investigation and was providing inaccurate answers to their questions. The lawyer stated that there are more than 20 potential victims who need to be identified, but Burney’s lack of cooperation was hindering progress in the case.
First Information Report (FIR)
The FIA officially registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Sarim Burney for allegedly trafficking newborn babies to the United States. The FIR detailed how Burney was accused of trafficking a newborn baby named Haya to the US, allegedly purchasing the child from her parents for a substantial sum of money.
According to the FIA, Burney had trafficked a total of 20 newborns to the US over the past year, claiming that 15 of the trafficked children were girls. The agency cited records provided by the Pakistan embassy and Trust documents, indicating that Burney’s wife was also a beneficiary of these illicit activities.
Further Legal Action
The FIA revealed that Haya’s parents were living in extreme poverty and had provided statements regarding the trafficking of their child. The agency stated that additional cases related to human trafficking and money laundering would be filed against Burney as the investigation continued.
Despite the serious allegations and evidence presented by the FIA, Burney’s refusal to cooperate with authorities has complicated the legal proceedings and raised concerns about the extent of his involvement in these illegal activities.
As the case unfolds in the local court system, the community is left shocked and dismayed by the tarnishing of Burney’s reputation as a respected social worker. The outcome of the judicial remand and future legal proceedings will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for all those involved in this troubling case of human trafficking.
