00:00Federal police said they will conduct thorough investigation into allegations that 13 children
00:07rescued from care centers allegedly linked to Global Ikhwan services and business holdings
00:12were sodomized.
00:14Inspector General of Police Tanshree Razaruddin Hussain on Saturday said they are aware of

00:44trafficking.

01:27lawyers will initiate the legal process.
01:30He added that the raids against the occupants were done in a hurried manner without adequate
