Hidayatullah, on the other hand, also threatened Karima to upload her videos on the internet if she speaks out against his illegal activities.

The report had pointed out that the suspects were involved in inviting people to their party and later intoxicating the participants and filming their obscene videos. “Later these videos were used to blackmail the guests and girls and to extort money from them,” it said.

The report had highlighted that out of 280 obscene videos recovered from Hidayat Ullah’s possession, 254 have turned out to be unedited while the remaining were modified slightly.

It however pointed out that none of the videos proved rape allegations. “The videos and chats even did not have any discussion regarding children,” the sources within police said.
