In Lahore, a woman who sought work in the modeling industry was instead met with deception, assault, and financial theft — her drink allegedly drugged, her body violated, her savings drained. The case, now formalized at Sundar Police Station, has led to the arrest of two men, Hassan and Bilal, following police raids across multiple locations. It is a story as old as predation itself: trust weaponized, vulnerability exploited, and the long road to justice only just beginning.
