Kasur child abuse scandal took a new turn on Saturday after police alleged that the whole drama was to occupy 19 acres of government land.
Police say that the scandal was result of an old feud by Master Zafar and Sheerazi groups at Hussainwala village in Kasur district.
District Police Official Rai Babar Saeed said that five members of the Sheerazi groups, Haseem Amir, Feezan Majeed, Basharat Cheema, Ali Majeed and Abdul Manan were under arrest while one was on bail.
He accused Master Zafar group of putting pressure on their rivals for the sake of getting land.
