In a troubling case of cross-border crime, three young men from Sahiwal were allegedly lured and kidnapped in Thailand by Indian women, in what appears to be another “honey trap” incident.
The victims — Usman Amin, Muhammad Ahmed, and Tajammul Shehzad — reportedly stayed in contact with the women over the phone before traveling to Thailand on May 26, 2025, along with a friend from Faisalabad.
According to the families, the women sent them airline tickets and maintained regular communication during the trip.
Upon arrival, the group was kidnapped and taken near the Myanmar border. Soon after, the abductors demanded a ransom of Rs. 10 million from their families for their safe release.
The incident has raised alarm over a possible organized trafficking network. Relatives of the victims say unidentified individuals were present at Lahore Airport to see the group off, suggesting a wider operation may be at play.
Meanwhile, the Pakistani Embassy in Thailand has come under criticism for its lack of response. Families say their repeated pleas have been ignored, and no updates or assistance have been provided.
The victims’ families have called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to step in and ensure the safe return of their sons.
