LAHORE: Actor and model Momina Iqbal on Friday filed an application with Chung Police for the registration of a first information report against a PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar, levelling serious allegations of blackmail, harassment and death threats.

In her application, she alleged that the PML-N MPA had been making threatening calls to harass her and her fiance.

Momina claimed that the lawmaker turned abusive when she refused his marriage proposal, after it transpired that he was already married to two women.

Subsequently, she said Chadhar began blackmailing her. Momina also mentioned WhatsApp messages and video calls from the suspect in her application.

She further alleged that the MPA also sent the same threatening messages to her sister’s mobile phone.

According to reports, Momina visited Chung Police Station along with her lawyers, met Station House Officer Faheem Imdad, and briefed him about her complaint.

Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz also warned that any attempt to exert political pressure, abuse influence, or exploit a woman by threatening to release “personal content” in the case involving actor Momina and Chadhar would be met with “firm and uncompromising action.”

In an X post on Friday evening, the CM Maryam said the matter is a “personal issue” that will be “addressed strictly on merit and in accordance with the law”.

In an earlier social media post in which she tagged the PML-N leadership, Momina alleged that she had been subjected to “online harassment, cyberbullying and death threats for a long time.”

She claimed that both she and her family had suffered severe mental stress and trauma because of the alleged conduct of the MPA, whose identity she did not disclose publicly.

“A member of the provincial assembly belonging to the PML-N has been threatening me for an extended period. I repeatedly reported the matter to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency and the Federal Investigation Agency, but no action was taken,” she stated.

“Instead of ensuring justice, attempts were allegedly made to suppress my complaints. Even individuals associated with the office of the chief minister tried to discourage me and silence the issue rather than allowing a fair investigation,” she claimed.
