KASUR:The administration on Saturday played down the magnitude of the child abuse scandal that left the people of Kasur devastated when it came to light last month, according to local media authorities.

The district police officer disputed media reports that the number of children affected was almost 300, basing his claim on a flimsy ground that only seven “complainants have approached us so far”.

Furthermore, he linked the scandal to a land dispute between two groups, according to sources.

It was reported that about 280 children, most of them less than 14-year-old, of Husain Khanwala village, about 5km from Kasur, were sexually abused and filmed. Their families had been blackmailed, too.
