  "textContent": "A significant development emerged on Monday in the ongoing dispute involving actor Momina Iqbal and Saqib Chadhar, as the Lahore High Court (LHC) granted protective bail to Momina’s fiancé, Hamza Habib.\n\nHabib had sought protective bail in a case registered against him over allegedly issuing threats to Saqib Chadhar. The petition was heard by Justice Abhar Gul, during which the petitioner’s counsel informed the court that police in Jhang had registered a case against Habib.\n\nAfter hearing the preliminary arguments, the court approved Hamza Habib’s protective bail and directed him to approach the relevant trial court for interim bail by June 1.\n\n**NCCIA records statements in online harassment probe**\n\nLast week, Momina Iqbal and Chadhar appeared before the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Lahore on Thursday and recorded their statements in an ongoing online harassment case.\n\nAccording to an official cited by Dawn, both individuals spent several hours at the NCCIA office along with their legal teams, where they were questioned by investigators over allegations of cyber harassment and threats. The case was initiated after Momina Iqbal accused the lawmaker of persistent online harassment and death threats, claims that quickly gained traction on social media and triggered a broader public debate.\n\nA source said the investigation moved swiftly following the viral nature of the actress’s online appeal, which reportedly drew the attention of senior PML-N leadership, including Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz. Security was also provided to Momina Iqbal by Punjab police, confirmed by her family.\n\nIn her complaint, the actor alleged sustained harassment, cyberbullying, and attempts to silence her grievances, claiming that even individuals linked to the chief minister’s office discouraged her from pursuing the matter. Her sister, Advocate Rimsha Iqbal, said the family had submitted evidence to the NCCIA and expressed confidence in a fair outcome, adding that threats had also been directed at Momina’s fiancé.\n\nOn the other hand, Saqib Chadhar’s legal counsel rejected the allegations, stating that both had a long-standing association dating back to 2020–21 and had once considered marriage. He claimed the lawmaker had provided significant personal and financial support during their relationship, arguing that the harassment allegations were inconsistent with their past ties. He added that supporting evidence would be presented to investigators.\n\nChadhar, elected from PP-97 Chiniot in 2024 and later joining the PML-N, remains under investigation as authorities continue to examine both sides’ claims.\n\nThe post Saqib Chadhar case: protective bail granted to actor Momina Iqbal’s fiancé appeared first on HUM News English.",
