LAHORE: The conductors of a bus on Friday allegedly tortured special children when they were travelling to their institute in Gulberg.

According to the initial information, the bus conductors, namely Usman and Akram Shah, got upset with the children in the moving bus over some petty issue. They hanged two of the children upside down and beat up them. The incident surfaced when a commuter in the bus filmed the torture on his mobile phone and sent the footage to the electronic media.

The Gulberg police claimed to have arrested both the conductors.
