Khalilur Rehman Qamar breaks silence, reveals details of abduction

Khalilur Rehman Qamar, a prominent Pakistani screenwriter, was abducted and robbed on July 15.

According to the First Information Report (FIR) and a press conference held in Lahore with Punjab Police DIG Investigation Imran Kishwar, Qamar detailed the incident. He mentioned that he usually conducts business late at night due to a medical condition that requires him to avoid sunlight for five years.

Qamar explained that the meeting was scheduled for 4:40 am, but upon arriving at the location, he was ambushed by armed men who blindfolded him and took his ATM card to withdraw money.
