A Lahore court dismissed PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar and his wife's interim bail petitions as withdrawn on Thursday, following the investigating officer's statement that the arrest of the suspects was unnecessary at the present stage in the case involving television actress Momina Iqbal's alleged harassment. Initially, the former investigating officer had found Chadhar guilty after investigation, but the new IO, Hassan Sajjad Naqvi, informed the court that the investigation had changed, and arrest was not required.
Iqbal had reportedly filed a complaint alleging online harassment, cyberbullying, and death threats from Chadhar, who was a PML-N MPA at the time. After the hearing, Chadhar and his wife withdrew their bail petitions, and the court disposed of the pleas as withdrawn.
