Actor and model Momina Iqbal filed a police application seeking a First Information Report against PML-N Member of Provincial Assembly Saqib Chadhar.

The case highlights the intersection of celebrity influence and political power in Pakistan, specifically regarding allegations of gender-based harassment and the misuse of official positions.

Iqbal submitted her complaint to the Chung Police station in Lahore on May 22, 2026 [1]. She alleged that Chadhar engaged in blackmail, harassment, death threats, and psychological torture. According to the complaint, these actions followed Iqbal's decision to end her relationship with Chadhar and reject his marriage proposal in 2022 [1, 2].

Parallel to the police complaint, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) issued summons to both Iqbal and Chadhar on May 21, 2026 [3]. The agency is investigating claims of online harassment related to the dispute.

Chadhar disputed the allegations. He accused Iqbal of misrepresentation and said she was playing the women card [4].

The situation drew attention from the provincial government. Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said citizens should not be harassed and influence should not be misused in the case [2].

“Momina Iqbal filed a police application seeking a First Information Report against PML-N Member of Provincial Assembly Saqib Chadhar.”

This legal battle pits a public figure against a sitting member of the ruling party, testing the Pakistani judiciary's ability to handle harassment claims involving political elites. The involvement of both the local police and the NCCIA suggests a multi-pronged investigation into both physical threats and digital harassment.
