A TikToker wanted in a honey trap case was arrested after allegedly using women from his family as a human shield to resist arrest and attacking an officer of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) with a sharp weapon, injuring him.
According to NCCIA officials, a team from Sukkur had arrived in Karachi to arrest the suspect, identified as Makhdoom Junaid, alias Junaid Jani, in connection with an FIR lodged against him. When the raiding team, assisted by Mubina Town police, reached his home, the suspect resisted and began livestreaming from a nearby street.
During the live session, Jani allegedly incited the women present to engage in indecent acts and instructed them to undress as a form of protest. Amid the commotion, he allegedly attacked an FIA officer with a sharp tool, inflicting serious injuries.
The suspect was eventually taken into custody along with three women from his household — identified as Fehmida, Ghazala and Kainat. All four were shifted to Sukkur for further legal proceedings.
Officials said the case stemmed from a complaint in which the accused allegedly lured a man into befriending a woman named Reshma over the phone.
The victim later received objectionable, doctored videos, after which Jani allegedly extorted over Rs4 million and demanded an additional Rs7 million, threatening to make the videos public.
A separate case has also been registered at the local police station for the attack on a government official during the arrest operation.
