ISLAMABAD - A honey trap case involving Rawalpindi police officials has surfaced in the federal capital, according to an FIR registered at Islamabad’s Sangjani police station. A person from Kohat in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province told the police that recently, he developed friendship with Nadia who later invited him to visit Islamabad. Mazaieen Khan son of Ajmaeen Khan told the police that he along with his friend Syed Malook son of Naik Muhammad reached Islamabad’s Sarai Kharbooza area on March 29, 2025 at 3:30 am to meet Nadia. “My meeting with Nadia was in progress when suddenly two men in Punjab police uniform and one in civies appeared there. They blackmailed and threatened me at gunpoint for ‘trapping’ girls.”
Khan stated in the FIR that the accused snatched their mobile phones, cash and other valuables. “They also sought Rs 10 million in extortion and warned if they failed to give money they will be booked in a narcotics case. The accused later, upon finding no positive outcome, fled towards Taxila along with Nadia in a car. The victims later managed to get information about the accused. They recognized them as Zahid Usman constable Rawalpindi police, Afaq Tariq constable Rawalpindi police, Shahid Iqbal son of Sirajuddin, resident of Jand and Nadia, resident of Peshawar.
The Sangjani police have registered a case and further investigation is underway. Police involvement in crime has become a routine in the federal capital. The case comes at a time when the personnel of Islamabad police themselves are allegedly involved in the crime. A kidnapping case was registered, second in less than two-week time, against unidentified officials of Islamabad police more than two months after they allegedly picked up a citizen from the rural area of the federal capital.
The case was registered at the Bhara Kahu police station on a complaint lodged by Sanaullah. The complainant, in the FIR, stated that two vehicles along with some private cars abducted his brother from the house of a relative at 17 Meel. Sanaullah, a wholesale cloth dealer, said his brother Wasidullah had come to Islamabad from Bannu and was staying with a relative when he was abducted by a police team riding official vehicles. He said personnel of Bhara Kahu police station were also part of the raiding team which had come along with private cars on December 31, 2024. Initially, Sanaullah was refused an FIR, however, he then approached senior officers seeking registration of a case, but got no positive response from any of them. Later, he approached some influential persons from KP and after a few days came to know that the Bhara Kahu police registered a kidnapping case on March 7. According to the FIR, Sanaullah’s brother had come to Islamabad to purchase land and was also carrying cash.
Wasidullah had met a number of people to purchase land but at noon on December 31, unidentified policemen in uniform and police vehicles along with some private cars took him away from his relative’s house.
His relative and some other people in the area were witnesses to the kidnapping, he added. This was the second such case in less than two weeks.
