Police shared the latest development in the case involving Pakistan actor Nimra Khan, saying that it was rather a “case of harassment” instead of bid of abduction as alleged by the victim.

A few days ago, Khan, shared the horrifying experience of narrowly escaping the "kidnapping" outside a hotel in Karachi's Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase VIII, in a video statement on Instagram.

Traumatised by the experience, the actor took to her Instagram account and narrated the whole incident what she called a "bid to kidnap" her.

Though she hadn't filed an official complaint with the police, the law enforcers launched investigations into the matter as it went viral on the internet.

Sharing the latest development in the probe, the Darakhshan sub-divisional police officer on Sunday said that it was a case of harassment rather that an attempted kidnapping and that the probe revealed that it was a single individual instead of multiple people who allegedly tried to "abduct" the 'Ehraam-e-Junoon' actor.

The officer said that two such cases been reported in the port city recently and the suspects in both cases had been arrested.

Meanwhile, Khan professed her satisfaction with the progress the police have done so far.

In a video released few days before the Independence Day, Khan had raised questions on the safety of women in the country while sharing what she had gone through.

The 'Khoob Seerat' actor detailed that she was waiting for her car outside the hotel when "three men" tried to "abduct her at gunpoint".
