Judge Khalid Arshad has ruled over nine suspects in Khalil ur Rehman Qamar’s honey trap case.
The case dates back to July 15, 2024, when Qamar, a controversial drama writer, was allegedly kidnapped and robbed in Lahore. He reported to the police on July 21 after his rescue, an alleged release after a ransom payment.
According to Qamar’s lawyer, he was invited to a woman’s place – Amna Arooj – for a discussion on a drama project when he was said to have been kidnapped by armed men.
Amna’s lawyer, however, argues a seemingly differing version of events, claiming Qamar’s manager first professionally contacted her, only to ultimately make it personal, after which Qamar allegedly made demands for sexual acts.
He further added that Qamar, apparently intoxicated, persuaded her to engage physically with him or he would blackmail her by outing her fake nude photos.
Hasan Shah reportedly orchestrated the kidnapping and made the videos of the two that went viral on social media, but the evidence to date appears limited by the officers.
Amna Arooj claims she was tortured by the police and that that they have falsely labelled the events a honey trap case.
