New Twist Emerges in Alleged Harassment Case Involving Actress Momina Iqbal

A high-profile alleged harassment case involving Pakistani actress Momina Iqbal has taken a new turn after her legal team presented claims regarding the background of the dispute, including alleged past relationships and subsequent complications.

According to the actress’s lawyers, the case involves a previous relationship between Momina Iqbal and a provincial assembly member of the Pakistan Muslim League (N). The legal team stated that the individual, identified as an MPA, was already married, which they claim became a central factor in the controversy that later unfolded.

During a media interaction following a hearing at the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, lawyers Adnan Ehsan and Ramsha Iqbal said that the actress and the politician were in contact between 2022 and 2023. They alleged that the MPA had expressed intentions of marriage and even formally sent a proposal. However, it later emerged, according to the lawyers, that he was already married and allegedly seeking a third marriage.

The legal representatives further claimed that Momina Iqbal ended the relationship on ethical grounds after learning the full details. They also alleged that tensions escalated when the actress’s marriage was arranged elsewhere, after which she faced pressure and alleged harassment. The lawyers added that political influence was allegedly used against her fiancé, including the filing of a legal case.

They stated that despite threats and pressure, the actress’s wedding is scheduled to take place on June 1 as planned. According to the legal team, digital and documentary evidence related to harassment, intimidation, and alleged blackmail has been submitted to investigators, and they expressed hope for justice as the inquiry progresses.

Meanwhile, Momina Iqbal and her legal team thanked Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz for taking prompt notice of the matter, stating that timely action for the protection of a female artist is commendable.
