Previously, Ayesha Akram identified 13 suspects, including her associate Amir Sohail alias Rambo, who had accompanied her to Greater Iqbal Park on the day of the incident.
Akram informed the police that Sohail had orchestrated the incident, alleging that he and some of his associates had recorded objectionable videos of her. She claimed that Sohail had used these videos for blackmail, extorting Rs1 million from her to date. “I have been giving him half of my salary,” she stated, adding that Sohail, along with his partner Badshah, operated a “TikTok gang.”
