Aruba Mirza Reveals Saqib Chadhar’s DMs as Investigation Finds MPA Guilty of Harassing Momina Iqbal

Aruba Mirza has stepped forward to expose a series of unwanted direct messages from Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) Saqib Chadhar, sharing the screenshots directly on her Instagram story.

Her revelation comes immediately after the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) submitted a briefing to a Lahore sessions court, where investigators stated they had found the politician guilty of harassing fellow actress Momina Iqbal.

Key Takeaways

• Aruba Mirza shared screenshots of direct messages from MPA Saqib Chadhar, with timestamps ranging from March 9, 2025, to August 17.
• Investigators from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) informed a sessions court that they found the politician guilty of harassing Momina Iqbal.
• A judge has extended the lawmaker’s pre-arrest bail until September 3, directing both legal teams to present their final arguments.

Aruba Mirza’s DM Leak

The controversy surrounding the sitting MPA took a new turn when Aruba Mirza decided to make her own encounters public. Taking to her Instagram story, the actress posted clear screenshots of the exchanges.

The leaked screenshots revealed a persistent, one-sided conversation initiated by Saqib Chadhar, with messages spanning from March 9, 2025, to August 17.

The images revealed his repeated attempts to engage her in conversation over several months, including requests to move the chat to Snapchat.

Instead of ignoring the situation, Aruba used her platform to stand with other women in the industry who had faced similar behaviour. “Momina Iqbal, Syeda Tooba and also me… this is the reality of our ruling class,” she wrote alongside the screenshots of the direct messages. Her statement drew a direct line between her own experience and the ongoing legal battle fought by her peers.

The NCCIA Investigation Results

Aruba’s decision to speak out was heavily influenced by a major development in a Lahore sessions court on a Tuesday. During the proceedings, officials provided a critical update regarding the cyber harassment allegations initially levelled against the politician.

National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) Lahore Station House Officer Najam Bajwa directly addressed Additional District and Sessions Judge Nusrat Ali Siddiqui Malik. The officer informed the judge that the agency had completed its comprehensive investigation. Based on their findings, investigators concluded that Saqib Chadhar was guilty of the harassment allegations brought forward by Momina Iqbal.

While the investigative authorities have placed responsibility on the MPA, the court has yet to deliver its final judicial verdict. Acknowledging the completed report, Judge Nusrat Ali Siddiqui Malik extended the pre-arrest bail for Saqib Chadhar and his wife until September 3.

During the hearing, it was noted that Saqib Chadhar’s wife had surrendered her mobile phone to the NCCIA for forensic examination two days prior. The judge directed both the prosecution and the defence to prepare and present their final arguments at the upcoming hearing.

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz commented on the case, stating the matter is a personal issue that will be addressed on merit and warned that any attempt to exert political pressure or exploit a woman would be met with firm action.

Allegations of Blackmail and Wedding Sabotage

The legal net currently closing around the politician stems from a detailed First Information Report (FIR) lodged by Momina Iqbal. The actress initially submitted her complaint to the Chung Police, outlining a severe and sustained campaign of intimidation that deeply affected her personal life.

In her official complaint, Momina alleged that Saqib Chadhar made threatening phone calls to harass both her and her fiancé. The situation reportedly escalated when she outright refused his marriage proposal, a decision she made after discovering he was already married to two other women.

The FIR stated that the politician, alongside his wife and their associates, systematically defamed her and successfully sabotaged her 2023 engagement by spreading false information.

Furthermore, the complaint accused the MPA of blackmailing her through persistent WhatsApp messages and intrusive video calls sent to her and her sister’s mobile phones. He allegedly threatened to leak private material, physically harm her, and disrupt any future wedding plans. Following these severe accusations, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) registered a formal case on June 4 under the following statutes:

• Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA): Sections 3, 4, 21, and 24.

• Pakistan Penal Code (PPC): Sections 506, 201, 34, and 109.

However, Momina Iqbal clarified that no out-of-court settlement has been reached with Saqib Chadhar, reiterating her commitment to pursuing legal justice.

A Pattern of Behaviour

The internet reacted immediately as a high-profile court case triggered a broader conversation about entitlement and abuse of power. What began with Momina Iqbal’s allegations has exposed a troubling pattern, with prominent figures like Aruba Mirza and Syeda Tooba Anwar also pointing to the same lawmaker.

Social media users, activists, and fellow celebrities quickly rallied behind the actresses, flooding the MPA’s accounts to demand accountability and making the story a top trend nationwide. While some users debated the timeline of the leaks and the ethics of public allegations versus due process, public outrage remains high.

Although Saqib Chadhar denies all claims and remains on pre-arrest bail, the court of public opinion has already made up its mind. All eyes now turn to the court’s decision on September 3.
