Investigators accuse him of kidnapping a Dutch crypto entrepreneur and her Venezuelan business partner. The allegations have intensified political debate across the country. According to the police statement, the 35-year-old Dutch entrepreneur from Zaanstad travelled to Pakistan in late June. She arrived after receiving an invitation from Muhammad Raza Dar to meet potential investors. The pair had previously met in Singapore during October 2025. Police said both visitors travelled to Lahore on June 29 for what they believed was a birthday gathering. Instead, four armed men allegedly restrained them, assaulted them, and demanded ransom payments. The Pakistan kidnapping case report states the captors sought amounts reaching $2 million. Authorities said the Dutch victim secretly used a pre-arranged code word in a voice message. Her family alerted police, leading investigators to trace the incident. The victims later escaped after their vehicle crashed and reached a nearby garage before officers arrived. Police arrested four suspects, including Raza Dar, while another suspect, identified only as "Boss," remains at large. The accused face kidnapping and gang rape charges and will return to court on July 8. The Pakistan kidnapping case has also prompted political criticism. Senator Faisal Vawda called for Ishaq Dar's resignation, while the Dutch Foreign Ministry confirmed it is providing consular assistance. The case remains under investigation, attracting serious attention and significant public interest.
