LAHORE: In yet another honey trap case, four policemen have been arrested for allegedly kidnapping and torturing a citizen in connivance with two transgenders in Kot Lakhpat area.

The police registered a case against all the kidnappers on the complaint of victim Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Kasur.

He alleged that two transgenders Ali alias Bilo and Alezay intercepted him at the Kacha Jail Road and took him to a nearby rented house. He claimed the suspects snatched his mobile phone and Rs40,000 cash and locked him in a washroom.

Later, Bilal claimed that the transgenders handed him over to four constables including Waqas, Suleman, Umair and Irfan who were already present in the house.

The policemen took him towards Kot Lakhpat jail, where they allegedly snatched some money from him and threatened him to not take the matter to the police or tell someone else.
