6.17 lakh subscribers on 22-year-old Qadir’s YouTube
Namra Qadir is 22 years old and has more than 6.17 lakh subscribers on YouTube. A complaint was lodged against her by 21-year-old Dinesh Yadav of Badshahpur in August, but Qadir and her husband moved the court seeking interim bail.
After the court rejected this petition, an FIR was registered against him on November 26 at the Noida Sector 50 police station. It was written in this report that Qadir and Beniwal are residents of Shalimar Garden in Delhi.
Businessman Dinesh has accused the duo of extorting money and gifts by threatening to implicate him in a false rape case.
Qadir used to promote business on his channel
Dinesh, a businessman who runs an advertising firm, told the police that some time ago he came in contact with Qadir. Then husband Beniwal was also with her. Qadir asked for Rs 2 lakh to promote his business on his channel.
Dinesh told, ‘After a few days, Qadir told me that he likes me and wants to get married. After that we both became good friends. In August, I went to the club with Qadir and Beniwal, where they booked a room for the night. Next morning when I woke up, Kadir asked me for all the bank cards and smart watch. She threatened me that if I did not listen to her, she would implicate me in a false case of rape.
According to Dinesh, both of them together took more than Rs 80 lakh in money and gift items from him. When Dinesh told this to his father, he took him to file a complaint with the police.
