Karachi Farmhouse Owner Details Job Scam Operation

The owner of the Gadap farmhouse where over 50 women were scammed out of their mobile phones has provided his account of the incident. Ashar Ansari, owner of Ansari Meadows farmhouse, stated that the property was booked by a man named Waqas for a "corporate staff meeting" from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.

According to Ansari, a man identified as Salman or Asif was present at the event. He said the organisers collected the women's mobile phones under the pretext that ringing phones would cause a disturbance during speeches. The suspect then fled with the devices.

Ansari added that when he tried to collect the payment for the booking towards the end of the event, the suspect claimed he was on his way but never returned.

Further details from the investigation indicate the main suspect, identified as Salman, collected the victims' mobile phones under the pretext that making videos was not permitted at the location.

Further details have emerged regarding the job scam in Karachi where dozens of women were robbed of their mobile phones. According to available reports, the scheme was planned over a period of one and a half to two months.

The main suspect has been identified as a man named Sahil Salman, though police suspect this may be a fake name. It is alleged that he used social media to post job advertisements and hired female coordinators to gather women who were seeking daily wage work in marketing.

The victims were reportedly promised daily payments and were asked to submit their CVs and profile videos. On the day of the incident, the 59 women were picked up from various bus stops with the promise of being taken to Bahria Town for interviews, but were instead driven to the farmhouse in Gadap where the robbery took place.
