Faisalabad, Sept. 18 -- Police have arrested an alleged leader of a honey-trap gang, identified as Ghulam Batool, outside a local court in Faisalabad, ARY News reported, citing officials.

According to police, Batool, a resident of Dastgir Colony, had earlier filed a rape case at Madina Town police station, accusing a man named Waseem of sexual assault after luring him with a false promise of employment. Investigators said she later reached a settlement with Waseem's family, agreeing to withdraw her allegation in exchange for PKR 500,000.

Batool appeared before Civil Judge Muhammad Asif to record a retraction statement when Inspector Sana Nazir placed her under arrest and registered a fresh case, ARY News reported.
