Four men arrested in Multan for taking nude photos of women

At least four men have been arrested in Multan for blackmailing and taking nude pictures of women in the Delhi Gate area of the city. The arrests took place on Wednesday when police received complaints of their lewd behavior. The suspects have been booked under the provisions of the cybercrime laws.

According to the details of the incident provided, the men had been befriending women and would later ask them for their obscene pictures. After getting those pictures, they would blackmail those women for money or sexual favors.

The police received a tip-off, after which they raided a hideout in the Delhi Gate area and nabbed four criminals. The criminals were identified as Waqas, Shehzad, Adnan and Murtaza. He added, “During search of the place, the police seized nude photographs of women, 12 mobile phones and two laptops.”

One of the victims told the police that Waqas had taken her nude pictures and shortly after, he started blackmailing her. She added, “Waqas and his companions demanded money and also threatened me of dire consequences if I failed to pay the amount.”

A similar case took place in Abbottabad in January when a young man, suspected of taking nude pictures of his former fiancé and sharing it on social media, was arrested by the police. The suspect asked his fiancé to strip while they were still engaged and he took pictures of her and later shared it with male members of her family.

Ever since the cybercrime law came into effect, such cases are being booked under the law and it is being hoped that such actions will be discouraged in the future.
