Prompted by his wife’s distress, Arshad, along with his son Ali Akbar and cousin Tariq Hussain, ventured into an adjacent room where they stumbled upon a video recording setup connected to hidden cameras surreptitiously placed within the bridal chamber.
According to Arshad’s statement to the police, upon entering the room, they were confronted by an armed individual, while the manager and his assistant made a hasty escape.
In response to the alarming situation, the complainant urgently contacted the police via the 15 helpline, leading to the immediate apprehension of the manager, identified as Umer Iqbal, and his assistant, Javed Munir.
A First Information Report (FIR No 1495/23) has been lodged against both suspects and an accomplice who brandished a firearm at the complainant. The charges filed under sections 292 and 506/B of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) were based on Arshad’s complaint.
Arshad has called upon the district police officer to initiate a comprehensive investigation into the matter and recover all videos allegedly created by the suspects. These videos are suspected to have been used for potential blackmail and exploitation of married women, raising significant concerns within the community.
