Taking matters into his own hands, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan decided to visit Mr. Bakhshi’s apartment in Bandera, which didn’t have an elevator.”


    “After Nusrat Sahab went to his apartment by himself, Bakhshi became embarrassed and started crying when he saw Nusrat entering the apartment while four people were holding him. Later, Bakhshi Saab would come visit him, and both of them produced music together.”

    The main suspect in the kidnapping of controversial writer Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar has claimed to Aik News HD’s Syed Haider Ali that he has two videos of Qamar, each one and a half hours long, where he wants to get intimate with the woman who honey-trapped him.

    Hassan Raza, the main suspect, introduced himself as a real estate agent. He affirmed that he is in possession of a video where Qamar is drinking alcohol and swearing while being drunk. He said that the police have taken all the video evidence from his place. However, he is still in possession of a memory card that contains videos of Qamar.

    Raza proclaimed that Khalil has lied to the police and hoped the police will listen to him.

    The anchor then asked, “Is it true that Qamar came on his own and the woman did not convince the writer to meet with her to discuss the drama project?” To which Raza replied, “Regarding Amna, Qamar kept kissing her feet. He filed an FIR against us to obtain all these videos.”

    The anchor further asked, “According to the police, you used the woman to honey trap Qamar, is the police not telling the truth?”

    The culprit replied that Qamar did everything himself. “He used to message Amna first. If the police get the call data record (CDR) of Qamar’s phone, they will find out who is guilty.”
