Actress Arooba Mirza accuses MPA Saqib Chadhar of sending messages

KARACHI: Actress Arooba Mirza has accused Punjab Assembly member Saqib Chadhar of sending her unsolicited messages on social media, becoming the latest actress to level allegations against the lawmaker.

Mirza shared screenshots on her Instagram Story that she said showed direct messages sent from an account associated with Chadhar.

The screenshots allegedly include repeated attempts to contact the actress and requests to continue their conversation on Snapchat.

Alongside the screenshots, Mirza wrote, “After Momina Iqbal and Tooba Anwar, now me too,” referring to similar allegations previously made by actresses Momina Iqbal and Tooba Anwar.

The latest claims come after a case was registered against Chadhar under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) following a complaint by Momina Iqbal.

The case is being investigated by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). Iqbal has alleged she was subjected to prolonged online harassment, cyberbullying, psychological pressure and death threats by an influential political figure.

Separately, actress Tooba Anwar recently alleged that Chadhar had offered her an iPhone as a gift. Chadhar has denied previous allegations and has also initiated legal proceedings related to the controversy.
