TikToker Makhdoom Junaid allegedly used female relatives to obstruct his arrest by a team of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) from Sukkur.
The incident occurred on Abul Hassan Isphahani Road where the FIA team had arrived to arrest the suspect over allegations of blackmailing a complainant through a “honey trap”. Junaid is accused of befriending a man via a woman named Reshma, sending him an edited objectionable video, and extorting Rs4.4 million, while demanding an additional Rs7 million. Upon refusal, the suspect allegedly leaked the video. When FIA officers reached Abul Hasan Isphahani Road on an informer’s tip, Junaid tried to flee. He reportedly instructed his female relatives to follow him, which they did, an act captured on video and widely shared on social media.
The FIA said that as the team pursued him near Rajput Hospital, the suspect attacked an officer with a butcher’s cleaver, seriously injuring him. Nearby Sachal police were called for assistance. Junaid was arrested, along with his relatives identified as Fahmida Makhdoom, Ghazala, and niece Kainat, who were also taken into custody. The FIA shifted all four suspects to its Karachi office for further legal action.
