HAFIZABAD – Police have arrested two members of a gang involved in the illegal sale of bone marrow extracted from girls and young women in the guise of ‘blood test’ in Hafizabad.
The crime surfaced after the father of the 17-year-old reported it to the police. The complainant revealed that the group approached the family and promised help to prepare dowry for their daughter.
He revealed that the accused made the financial assistance conditional on the ‘medical checkup’ of his daughter.
After this lucrative offer, the father said that they willingly agreed for the checkup, adding that the suspects told him they would take a blood sample of the girl as part of the procedure.
