Islamabad, June 21 (ANI): A teacher at a private academy in Lahore District has admitted that he had sexually abused several of his students over the last two decades and later blackmailed them with videotapes of the incident.

Abdul Rehman has been taken into custody after one of his victims reported the matter to the Shalamar Police, saying Rehman had been sodomising him for the last three years.

Cops raided the Baghbanpura academy, which offers computing and other short courses, and found footage of one of the abuse incidents, reports The Daily Times.

Rehman confessed to the charges, and apparently revealed that he used to keep his victims on gunpoint and also took advantage of them by threatening to make the films public.

Rehman also confessed using the help of two accomplices who helped him trap pupils.

Shalamar Police SHO Majid Bashir said the police were on the look out for the aides. (ANI)
