A case has already been filed against the suspect for the victim's complaint.
According to the first information report (FIR), the suspect attracted the woman to a farm where she captured objectionable images of her. Later, the suspect used these photos to blackmail the woman and subjected her to "physical intimidation."
The suspect, according to FIR, created two fake Facebook profiles of the plaintiff and uploaded her photos on the social media site when she resisted the suspect. He also allegedly sent objectionable photos of the woman to her relatives.
Meanwhile, he continued to force the woman to have a relationship with him and, at least once, tortured her, shaved her hair and eyebrows, and subjected her to electrocution.
On Thursday, the FIA on the victim's complaint raided the suspect's office located on Tariq Road and arrested him. FIA officials also retrieved the phones used in the alleged crime.
According to the FIR, the suspect handed in the passwords of the false identifications and confessed his crime.
