The incident occurred two months back, when Usman allegedly along with his two other accomplices barged into an apartment in the E-11 sector of Islamabad and shot an obscene video of a girl.
The suspects continued to blackmail her and her husband with the video and demanded money in return and warned to make it viral in case of non-compliance. The police took prompt action and arrested the suspects after the videos went viral on social media.
The Islamabad police later shared the news of Usman’s arrest saying that while utilizing all their resources, they have apprehended a suspect allegedly threatening a couple in a video within hours.
