Welcome to Crime Stories of Pakistan, where we delve into some of the most shocking and lesser-known crime cases from across the country.

We are peeling back the layers of one of the most disturbing and controversial cases of recent years—the case of Mufti Aziz ur Rehman, a prominent religious cleric accused of sexually abusing his student, Sabir Shah.

The case raises deep questions about power, abuse, and the protection of vulnerable individuals in places that are supposed to be sanctuaries of faith.

Shoutout to Mir Suleman for suggesting this case.
