I am the one who saved Ayesha from the mob but now she is putting the entire blame on me.”

Amir Sohail | Ayesha Akram’s partner

The Punjab police is investigating an audio call between TikTok girl, Ayesha Akram, and her male partner, Amir Sohail, alias Rambo.

In their alleged telephonic conversation, which is leaked to social media and has gone viral, both of them can be heard planning to blackmail and get money from each of the arrested suspects in the Greater Iqbal Park Harassment Case.

Ayesha Akram can be heard saying she identified six persons from whom they could extort money. She suggests they should demand Rs600,000 (Dh12,871) from each of them.

However, Rambo differed with her saying most of the arrested persons were from poor families and they would not be able to get that sum from them. On this, Ayesha suggests they should reduce the amount to Rs500,000.

According to a senior officer of Lahore police, a forensic audit of the audio would be carried out. The alleged leaked call has given the harassment case a new turn as on October 8, Ayesha had complained that Rambo and his companions were blackmailing her and hurled threats on her.

In a written statement submitted to DIG Investigation Shariq Jamal, Ayesha alleged that it was Rambo who had made the plan to go to Greater Iqbal Park on Independence Day. She also charged in the application that Rambo and his accomplices had got hold of her nude video and were blackmailing her for the past three years.

A day after her complaint, the police arrested Rambo who, however, rejected her allegations. “I am the one who saved Ayesha from the mob but now she is putting the entire blame on me,” he told media.

“Only I know how I took this girl [Ayesha] out of that situation alive and took her home but now Ayesha has nominated me in the case,” he said.
