ISLAMABAD: Journalist Ammar Masood has claimed that Raza Dar, who has recently been linked to a high-profile case involving allegations of kidnapping and sexual assault of two foreign women, was in fact the victim of an alleged investment scam and not involved in the crimes being attributed to him.

Speaking on the matter, Masood said the allegations circulating against Dar are unfounded and have led to widespread misunderstanding. He described Dar as a young businessman, aged around 20 or 21, who primarily resides in the United Arab Emirates, where he manages his business activities.

According to the journalist, Dar allegedly invested nearly $500,000 in a scheme that promised substantial monthly returns but later discovered he had been targeted by a network of professional fraudsters. Masood claimed the promised profits never materialized, leaving Dar under significant financial and emotional pressure.

He further stated that Dar initially chose not to disclose the full details of the alleged fraud, even to close family members, but later indicated that he had become trapped in a sophisticated investment scam orchestrated by experienced scammers.

Masood maintained that there is more to the case than what has been reported publicly and urged caution against drawing conclusions before the investigation is completed.

The claims made by the journalist have not been independently verified by authorities. Officials have not issued any statement confirming his account, and investigations into the allegations remain ongoing.
