‘Held at gunpoint and forced’: Khalilur Rehman Qamar shares reason for sex tape

Controversial writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has finally broken his silence about the leaked video that has been making headlines for weeks.

During a call, journalist Muneezay Moeen asked Khalil Ur Rehman about sex tape, to which he responded, “I was held at gunpoint and forced into a horrific situation. They demanded that I perform an intimate act with her, which they wanted to film. I was forced to remove my shirt, but I was in a state of deep depression and couldn’t bring myself to do it. I told them it was impossible for me, and thankfully, they left me alone and didn’t force me further. It was a traumatic experience that I will never forget.”

The video came out just as Hassan Shah, the mastermind of the honey trap that resulted in the writer’s kidnapping for ransom, was arrested. In an interview with Aik Pakistan hosted by Syed Ali Haider, the unknown man threatened that he would release the videos he has.

The video is in clear contradiction of the misogynistic writer’s account of what happened that night. He said in a police press conference that he went to the woman’s house at 4:40 am “to discuss a drama project.” When asked by a reporter about why he went that late to an unknown woman’s house, he said that he had been advised by his doctor to avoid sunlight for five years.

This will not be the first time that Qamar has landed himself in hot water. Qamar is known for speaking his mind, but his views often spark controversy. He has faced criticism for his comments on feminism and gender issues, and many of his statements have ignited debates and discussions.

Hassan Shah and his accomplice, Rafiq, were taken into custody in Peshawar. Shah is accused of leading a 12-member gang, including women that allegedly trapped Qamar and then released compromising videos of him.
