GOJRA: In a turn of events, a case related to the rape of a girl at Motorway has turned out to be a blackmailing attempt from an inter-district gang involved in extorting money from people through such tactics, ARY NEWS reported quoting police.

Detailing startling revelations made during the investigation process of a motorway rape case, DSP Gojra Mian Waqar Ahmed said that a woman named Shaheen registered a case alleging that her niece was raped at the motorway.
