LAHORE: Hassan Shah, the key suspect in the kidnapping and honey-trapping case involving renowned Pakistani playwright Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, was produced in the Anti-Terrorism Court on Thursday.
Shah appeared in court with his face covered, and the police have requested an identification parade for him. Shah, along with co-accused Amina Urooj, is alleged to have kidnapped and blackmailed Qamar.
The suspects reportedly demanded a ransom of Rs10 million after abducting the drama writer.
Recently, Qamar fell victim to a honey-trapping scheme orchestrated by a criminal gang and was subsequently released upon paying a ransom.
Shah had previously claimed to possess two private videos of Qamar, each approximately an hour and a half long.
These videos, which were later leaked, showed Qamar in compromising situations with a woman, including one where he was seen smoking with her in a private setting.
