FIR Registered Against PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar Under PECA Act in Momina Iqbal Case

A First Information Report (FIR) has reportedly been registered against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Saqib Chadhar under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA). The case has drawn public attention due to serious allegations mentioned in the FIR text circulating in the media.

According to the FIR, the complainant, a famous actress and model Momina Iqbal, has accused Saqib Chadhar and his wife of issuing threats and engaging in blackmail. The complaint states that the accused allegedly pressured the complainant and warned her of severe consequences if their demands were not met.

The FIR further claims that the accused sent objectionable and private video content involving the complainant to her and her sister. It also alleges that the accused attempted to use this material as a means of coercion, demanding compliance with certain personal conditions, including pressure related to marriage.

In addition, the complaint states that threats were made to leak sensitive data if the complainant did not agree to the demands. Such allegations, if proven, could fall under multiple sections of cybercrime and harassment laws in Pakistan, particularly under PECA, which deals with electronic communication misuse, cyber harassment, and illegal dissemination of private content.

Another key point mentioned in the FIR is that the accused allegedly deleted data from a mobile device before handing it over to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). Investigators are expected to examine the device and recover any deleted material as part of the ongoing inquiry.

The FIR also claims that evidence of alleged blackmailing material sent by the accused was recovered from the complainant’s mobile phone. Authorities will likely verify these claims through forensic analysis of digital devices, message records, and other electronic evidence.

At this stage, the allegations remain unproven, and no court verdict has been announced. Law enforcement agencies will conduct a detailed investigation to determine the authenticity of the claims and whether any violations of PECA or other applicable laws have occurred.

Cases involving alleged cyber harassment and misuse of private data have become increasingly common in recent years, prompting stricter enforcement under electronic crime laws. If substantiated, such cases can lead to significant legal consequences, including imprisonment and fines.

The investigation is ongoing, and further developments are expected as authorities collect evidence and record statements from the involved parties. Until then, all accusations remain allegations subject to legal verification.
