An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore sentenced three individuals\u2014Amna Urooj, Zeeshan Qayyum, and Mamnoon Haider\u2014to seven years imprisonment each for their involvement in the kidnapping and extortion of screenwriter Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The verdict, delivered by ATC Judge Arshad Javed on Monday, followed a high-profile trial stemming from a July 2023 incident.<\/p>\n\t\t

The court convicted the trio for luring Qamar to a residence under false pretenses, secretly recording him<\/a>, and orchestrating his abduction for ransom. Eight others\u2014Hassan Shah, Tanveer Ahmad, Qaisar Abbas, Rasheed Ahmad, Falak Sher, Mian Khan, Yasir Ali, and Javed Iqbal\u2014were acquitted due to insufficient evidence.<\/p>\n

The case emerged when Qamar reported being abducted after visiting Urooj\u2019s apartment, ostensibly to discuss a professional project. Held for several days, he was released following a ransom demand.<\/p>\n

A police investigation, initiated after Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar\u2019s complaint on July 21, 2023, led to multiple arrests. The prosecution described the incident as a calculated financial scheme, with Qamar\u2019s legal team advocating for severe penalties.<\/p>\n

The defense presented a contrasting narrative, alleging Qamar\u2019s manager initiated contact with Urooj, which later turned personal. Urooj\u2019s counsel claimed Qamar pressured her for a relationship, threatening to leak photographs, and that both were abducted by Hassan Shah, who was acquitted. Urooj also alleged police coercion in labeling the case a honey trap.<\/p>\n\t\t

In a related development, a petition by Urooj\u2019s mother, Zainat Bibi, to file a case against Qamar was withdrawn during a hearing before Additional Sessions Judge Ilyas Rehan. Qamar\u2019s lawyer, Mudasir Chaudhry, noted the petitioner\u2019s intent to amend the application, leading to the matter\u2019s closure for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
