Lahore police arrested stage actor Samar Rana on charges of allegedly torturing her 14-year-old domestic worker and facilitating her sexual assault. Authorities confirmed the arrest after the victim accused five unidentified men of raping her inside the actor’s residence, while Rana herself reportedly subjected the teenager to physical abuse.
The incident came to light when the victim approached police and narrated the ordeal. Following her statement, Nawab Town police registered a case and immediately apprehended Rana. Investigators said efforts are underway to track down and arrest the other suspects accused of involvement in the crime.
This is not the first time Rana has faced legal trouble. In 2022, the Lahore High Court canceled her bail in a fraud case, leading to her arrest. Police from Iqbal Town detained her and transferred her to the women’s cell at Lytton Road Police Station.
According to local media reports, the actor allegedly defrauded a citizen of Rs 2.6 million in a property dispute. She reportedly received the full payment but refused to vacate the property despite multiple notices. The complainant accused her of using delay tactics and ignoring legal warnings.
Investigations also reveal that Rana has a long history of fraud cases. Several reports suggest that she has been previously booked in multiple scams of a similar nature. Law enforcement officials note that such repeated allegations highlight a troubling pattern in her conduct.
The latest arrest has again placed Rana in the spotlight, raising questions about accountability and the misuse of influence within Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Police reiterated their commitment to ensuring justice for the victim and emphasized that all suspects will be brought to court.
