GUJRAT: Police on Thursday arrested a group two men for impersonating as policemen and making objectionable videos of children by stripping them and harassing them.

Asad Gujjar, a spokesman for Gujrat police, told Dawn that District Police Officer (DPO) Umar Salamat had found a video of three men in police uniform, making some children hostage in a room. The children were stripped by the suspects who were seen hurling threats and abuses to harrass the victims.
