Singer Ali Zafar & His Wife Were Kidnapped
The incident occurred 12 years ago when Zafar and his then-fiance Ayesha were kidnapped for six hours. They were released by the armed kidnapper upon receiving Rs2.5 million from their parents.
In 2008, Zafar and Ayesha left a CD shop and reached their car in the early hours. An armed man held them up and asked them to drive the car according to his direction.
The kidnapper made them move from place to place for three hours. He also asked both of them to talk to their parents for arranging Rs2.5 million ransom, otherwise, he would shoot them.
Zafar and Ayesha made phone calls to their parents and asked for ransom to which they agreed. However, they did not inform the police about the whole matter, according to a statement by a police officer then.
The ransom was paid by Ayesha’s parents in front of a shopping plaza in Gulberg Lahore. The kidnapper left the singer and his fiancee and took away the bagful of money and Zafar’s cell phone. OMG! This must be a day for both families.
