UK orders enquiry into child sex abuse by Pak-origin 'grooming' gangs after audit

The United Kingdom has announced a national enquiry into group-based child sexual exploitation following a scathing audit that revealed consistent failures in addressing the role of some Pakistani-heritage men in grooming and sexually abusing young white Home Secretary Yvette Cooper updated Parliament on Monday on the findings of the 'National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse' led by Baroness Louise audit, which examined cases from three police forces, found a significant over-representation of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men among suspects. It also criticised institutions for avoiding discussions about ethnicity for fear of being seen as racist or stoking community tensions. Cooper stressed that such silence has only fuelled misunderstanding and allowed harmful narratives to fester. Quoting the audit, Cooper said, "In the local data that the audit identified clear evidence of over-representation amongst suspects of Asian and Pakistani heritage, and she refers to examples of organisations avoiding the topic altogether for fear of appearing racist or raising community tensions."Cooper assured that the vast majority of British Asian and Pakistani-heritage communities are "appalled" by such crimes and agreed that offenders must face strict legal consequences. She also promised an "unequivocal apology" to victims and announced that rape laws would be tightened. Additionally, many girls previously convicted of child prostitution would be enquiry will address decades of systemic failures, which Cooper attributed to "blindness, ignorance, prejudice, defensiveness and even good but misdirected intentions".The move comes after Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the weekend pledged to implement all 12 recommendations made by Baroness Casey, including the national 197-page report described the term "group-based child sexual exploitation" as a sanitised phrase for crimes involving "multiple sexual assaults committed against children by multiple men on multiple occasions". It detailed severe abuse, including forced abortions, sexually transmitted infections and children taken from victims at report called for accurate recording of perpetrator's ethnicity and for authorities to treat all exploited minors as children first, not delinquents or issue re-entered public discourse earlier this year after Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticised the UK government's handling of past scandals involving grooming gangs. The audit was launched soon after and has since questioned long-standing narratives about the ethnicity of perpetrators, stating that the idea of an overwhelmingly white offender profile 'can't be proved' and that such assumptions have only caused further harm.

Meet Sanjay Dutt's ‘second father', who stood by him when no one else did, even helped to get him out of jail; He is…

Sanjay Dutt has never just been a movie star. For over four decades, he's been a symbol of talent, rebellion, survival, and second chances. His onscreen intensity made him a legend; his off-screen turbulence turned him into folklore. From blockbuster fame to courtroom headlines, Sanju Baba's life has played out like a film reel — dramatic, unforgiving, and deeply human. But behind the headlines and public trials lies a lesser-known chapter — one that speaks of unwavering loyalty and silent support. In the darkest phase of his life — when his name surfaced during the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts — Sanjay Dutt found himself alienated, even by those closest to him. His father, Sunil Dutt, then a Congress MP, found no backing from his own party. The noise was deafening, and help was scarce. And that's when the door opened — not from within Bollywood, not from Parliament — but from the residence of Shiv Sena chief Balasaheb Thackeray. Sanju didn't just admire Balasaheb — he called him Saheb and saw him as a second father. It wasn't politics; it was personal. In a rare moment of vulnerability, the actor once said, 'Whatever he has done for me and my family, I can never forget. I love Saheb like a father.' Back in 1993, when Sanjay Dutt was arrested for possessing illegal weapons and linked to the Mumbai blasts, Balasaheb Thackeray came to his defence through an editorial in Shiv Sena's mouthpiece Saamana . He insisted Dutt was innocent and being framed by the police, arguing the actor had procured the arms only for self-defence during the riots that shook the city before the blasts. Sunil Dutt, known for his Gandhian values, walked into the home of the fierce Sena supremo with just one request — help my son. And Balasaheb did. How? That remains behind closed doors, whispered in political corridors, but never confirmed. What's known is this: when the world turned away, Balasaheb stood by the Dutts. Their bond wasn't transactional — it was rooted in years of mutual respect. For Sunil, Balasaheb was a man of his word. For Sanju, he was a lifeline when few others showed up. Even today, when Sanjay Dutt looks back at those years, it's not just legal battles or media trials he remembers — it's the kindness of a man he called Saheb. Sometimes, the greatest rescue stories are the ones never fully told.
