A paedophile ring has been surfaced in Mandi Bahauddin, a town in central Punjab, that used Facebook to lure minors and blackmail them into performing acts of sexual nature, a local media outlet reported on Sunday.
The victims and their families held a protest against the incidents at College Chowk of the city and burnt tyres. They also demanded that the culprits behind the heinous crimes must be brought to book at the earliest.
The victim minors stated that had been forced to perform those acts at gunpoint and filmed to blackmail for money later.
The affected children said their friends were also being forced to repeat what they and their families had gone through.
