Renowned playwright Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime unit regarding the circulation of obscene videos made under duress.
In his complaint, Qamar stated that the accused deceived him, made the videos at gunpoint, and blackmailed him for a large sum of money. When he refused to pay, they released the videos online.
Qamar emphasized that the viral videos have severely damaged his reputation and demanded prompt action against the perpetrators. Cyber Crime officials have confirmed the receipt of the complaint and announced that investigations will commence shortly.
Following his recovery and the arrest of his kidnappers, the inappropriate videos have spread widely on social media, leading to significant personal repercussions for Qamar and his family. His daughter, Hijab Khalil, has faced severe online criticism and trolling.
