The Lahore Sessions Court dismissed actress Nazish Jahangir’s bail on the grounds of non-compliance, and the police have registered a case against her.
The fraud case against Nazish Jahangir was lodged by fellow actress Azan Aswad Haroon, who alleged that Jahangir had borrowed Rs 2.5 million and a car for two months.
She claims that even after two months, Nazish has not returned the money or the car.
The court, while rejecting the interim bail of the actress, extended the interim bail of the co-accused till the first week of October.
Previously, in 2020, Nazish and actor Mohsin Abbas Haider were arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) cybercrime wing in Karachi.
Both have rejected claims of arrests. They are also rumoured to be in a relationship, which is one of the reasons behind Haider’s divorce.
Now, according to reports, Haider and Jahangir were arrested by the FIA cybercrime wing in Karachi on Friday.
Reports of arrests emerged after Mohsin’s former wife, Fatima Sohail, posted a news clipping on Instagram, thanking the FIA for giving her justice.
They are allegedly being interrogated over charges of blackmailing, harassment, fake pictures and videos after evidence was collected against both of them. Fatima had filed a case with FIA accusing Mohsin and Nazish of harassing her over social media.
Mohsin and Fatima got divorced after fours years of marriage last year. Their divorce was heavily publicised after Fatima, in an explosive social media account posted on July 20, 2019, alleged that Mohsin was domestically abusive and had hit her on multiple occasions. She later filed an FIR against Mohsin on grounds of abusive behaviour and that Mohsin extorted money from her.
In August 2019, Mohsin was found guilty of threatening Fatima by a lower court in Lahore. However, he was found innocent of breach of trust and demanding money from his wife.
Nazish Jahangir, who maintained her innocence throughout the case, faced charges concerning cyber harassment under Pakistan’s laws.
