LAHORE: In a major development in the robbery and kidnapping case involving noted screenwriter Khalilur Rehman Qamar, police have arrested the suspect Amina.
According to Express News, Hassan Shah has been identified as the mastermind of the plot.
Police raided Nankana Sahib to arrest prime suspect Hassan Shah. Although he escaped capture, several of his accomplices were apprehended.

Meanwhile, Qamar announced that he will hold a press conference in three days to reveal more details about the incident.
Qamar was abducted and robbed yesterday in Lahore, police said.
Amina called Qamar and invited him to her home to discuss the drama project. Upon arrival, armed men kidnapped him and carried out a robbery. Qamar reportedly paid a large sum to the kidnappers, who then released him.
Lahore’s Sundar police station registered a case based on Qamar’s statement. The FIR states that the suspects tortured Qamar and took him to different places. They threatened to kill him and demanded money from his relatives.
The suspects also stole Qamar’s mobile phone, watch and cash while transferring Rs 250,000 from his ATM card. Qamar was blindfolded and left in a deserted area before the kidnappers fled.
