Nine people, including two women, have been arrested in connection with the honey trapping, abduction, and robbery of renowned playwright Khalilur Rehman Qamar, according to the Pakistan-based daily, Dawn.

The incident began when a woman named Amna lured Qamar to a house under the pretense of discussing a drama project. Upon his arrival, armed assailants forcibly abducted him, initiating a series of traumatic events.

During his captivity, Qamar was reportedly tortured and moved to multiple undisclosed locations. The kidnappers demanded a substantial ransom from him and his family.

In his statement to Sundar police station, Qamar detailed the threats and physical violence he endured.

Despite facing backlash, Qamar remains steadfast in his convictions, continuing to express his opinions openly. His resilience has garnered both support and controversy within the Pakistani community.
