LHC Suspends Amna’s Sentence In Qamar Case. Early in its ruling, the Lahore High Court suspended the verdict against Amna Urooj in the Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar kidnapping case. The decision has revived intense attention on the honey-trap allegations and legal wrangling.
On October 8, 2025, a two-member bench led by Justice Syed Shahbaz Ali Rizvi ordered the suspension of Amna’s seven-year prison sentence, issued by the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC). The suspension was granted against a surety bond of Rs 500,000.
- Amna’s counsel argued the trial court failed to correctly assess the evidence.
- The bench agreed to allow her release on bail while the appeal proceeds.
- The prosecution opposed, citing substantial evidence supporting a conviction.
The Qamar Kidnapping Case revolves around allegations that Amna Urooj and her co-accused lured Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar under false pretenses, allegedly abducting him as part of a so-called “honey trap” scheme, which led to their seven-year sentences by the Anti-Terrorism Court earlier this year.
- On April 14, 2025, an ATC sentenced Amna Urooj and two others to seven years imprisonment in the Khalil-ur-Rehman case.
- The case stems from allegations that Amna and the co-accused lured Qamar under false pretenses, the so-called “honey trap,” and then abducted him for ransom.
- In response, Qamar has also challenged the lower court verdict, filing appeals against acquittals and seeking stricter accountability.
As the legal drama deepens, further actions are expected from both sides:
- Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar is reportedly preparing legal action against Amna Urooj and online trolls who have allegedly harassed him over the scandal.
- Amna’s appeal will now be heard on the merits in the LHC, where the court will examine whether the lower court erred.
- Public and media attention remain fixed on how this case will influence future jurisprudence around celebrity, privacy, and alleged honey-trap cases.
With the suspension of Amna’s sentence in the Qamar case, momentum shifts. Will she walk free pending appeal, or will the courts reverse course? The next hearings could decide more than just one individual’s fate; they could reshape how such high-profile allegations are handled in Pakistan.
