MPA Sakhab Chadher’s Lawyer Announces Key Evidence in Momina Iqbal Harassment Case
Lahore: The legal team of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPA Muhammad Saqib Chadher has announced that important evidence will soon be presented in connection with the harassment allegations filed by actress Momina Iqbal.
Speaking to the media after appearing before the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), lawyer Mian Ali Ashfaq said that Saqib Chadher and Momina Iqbal first met in 2021 and maintained a close relationship for a long period. He claimed that at one stage, a marriage proposal between the two was also under consideration but could not materialize.
The lawyer further stated that the complainant allegedly continued to benefit financially and socially from the accused for nearly five years without any formal relationship, and maintained frequent contact and meetings during that time. He added that allegations of online harassment were later made against the MPA.
He said that in the coming days, strong evidence regarding their relationship would be presented, claiming it would surprise the public. He also argued that the law cannot be used for blackmail or abuse.
On the other hand, reports from a private TV channel ARY News suggested that Momina Iqbal’s legal representatives claimed the relationship between the actress and the PML-N MPA existed during 2022 and 2023. According to them, the MPA was keen on marrying the actress and had formally sent a marriage proposal.
The reports further alleged that the politician was already married and still intended to pursue a third marriage with the actress. When Momina Iqbal discovered his marital status, she reportedly ended the relationship on moral grounds. It was further claimed that tensions escalated when her marriage was arranged elsewhere, after which she allegedly faced harassment and pressure.
The lawyers also stated that the MPA misused his political influence by registering a case against the actress’s prospective husband. They added that documentary and digital evidence related to harassment, threats, and blackmail has already been submitted to NCCIA officials.
