LAHORE: A shocking honey trap scandal has surfaced in Lahore after police uncovered the alleged involvement of some police personnel in criminal activities carried out alongside a group of khawaja siras, raising serious questions about misconduct within law enforcement ranks.
According to police officials, the incident took place in the Kot Lakhpat area of Lahore where two khawaja siras allegedly lured a resident of Kasur to a flat through a honey trap scheme. After the victim arrived at the location, he was reportedly assaulted by the suspects and deprived of Rs40,000 in cash.
Police said the situation escalated further when four police officials allegedly entered the flat during the incident. The officers are accused of intimidating the victim and forcibly taking a copy of his identity card along with Rs11,000 in cash.
Authorities confirmed that a case has been registered against the accused individuals. The arrested police officials were identified as Constables Waqas, Suleman, Umair and Irfan.
Police added that raids are ongoing to arrest the five nominated khawaja siras allegedly involved in the case. Investigators are also examining whether the suspects were connected to a larger criminal network targeting citizens through similar honey trap operations.
