Actress Nimra Khan revealed that she was almost kidnapped from outside the Ramada Karachi Creek Hotel while waiting for her car. A teary-eyed Khan detailed in a video shared on her Instagram that three armed men on a motorcycle came up to her and allegedly pressed a gun to her stomach. After her video went viral on social media, South DIG Syed Asad Raza reported that the police have invited the actress to record her statement in order to initiate legal proceedings but she did not want to pursue the case. The police have also retrieved CCTV footage of the incident. The South DIG said that as per the initial investigation, he can say with a degree of certainty that it was not a kidnapping attempt nor bid to rob her. Instead, it appeared to be an attempt to make ‘indecent advances’ by a man on a motorcycle.

However, the Umm-e-Ayesha actress alleged in her video, “They held onto me and were trying to take me with them,” adding that four guards were in front of her but did not hear her screams. According to Khan, she shoved the assailants’ motorcycle, injuring her foot in the process, and ran into the oncoming traffic to save herself. She said a family got out of its car to help her, which is when Ramada’s team came to rescue her and took her inside.
