KASUR: A gang of criminals active since 10 years, involved in countless cases of extreme child abuse has come to light in Ganda Singh Wala area of Kasur in Punjab province on Saturday.
Investigations revealed around 400 videos were made of 280 victims of abuse by the gang of over 25 criminals.
Several parents of victims were consistently blackmailed and coerced to pay lacs of rupees as they were threatened that the gang would release the videos in public.
Families in the locality are helpless as officials all along have been apathetic to the incidents.
