The Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) has detained as many as eight Chinese accused of forcing young girls from Pakistan in prostitution after marrying them allegedly.
The gang was taken under arrest after FIA conducted a rigorous operation on the orders of Director General Bashir Memon, said spokesman FIA Jameel Meo.
Meo further added that the investigative agency raided a local housing society near Lahore airport, under the supervision of Director Zone II Rustam Chauhan.
The eight detainees have been accused of marrying innocent young girls from Pakistan, later forcing them to work as sex workers in China. On Thursday, FIA in an intelligence-based operation raided a wedding ceremony in Faisalabad and arrested the Chinese groom who has been identified as Chang.
Zahid, a Christian father; Kashif, a matchmaking agent; Mendes, a Chinese woman; and others were also taken into custody in the raid.
Insiders revealed that Christian women were subjected to sexual exploitation after being trafficked to the neighbouring country soon after their false marriage.
