LAHORE: Six people, including police officials, were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly torturing and humiliating an eight-year-old boy for three days in Lahore.

The boy, identified as Ahmed, claimed a fraudster took him to a mobile shop and told the owner he was his brother.

The fraudster took a phone without payment and left Ahmed there until his return with the amount.

When the man did not come back, the shopkeeper thrashed Ahmed and called the police.

Green Town police station ASI Saeed Ahmed took the alleged victim into police custody.

The boy claimed that a warm heater was put over his private parts during 'police investigation'.

When the alleged victim's mother came to the police station to register a case for her 'missing son', she came to know that he was in police custody.
