Social media activist alleges rape in Lahore, five booked

Lahore police have filed a criminal case against five men, including a popular YouTuber, following allegations of rape, blackmail, and harassment by a female social media activist. According to the FIR, the survivor stated that the primary accused befriended her online, gained her trust, and lured her to his home where she was drugged and raped. She remained silent until he later sent her an explicit video of the assault, using it to blackmail her into repeated abuse. When she approached him with her sister to demand the videos be deleted, four accomplices allegedly harassed them, deleted the clips, and issued death threats before releasing them. While all five men have been nominated in the FIR, no arrests have yet been made.
