Court issues arrest warrant for actress Nazish Jahangir

A local court in Lahore has issued an arrest warrant for actor Nazish Jahangir in connection with a fraud case.

The order was issued by the judicial magistrate, who directed the Defence-C police to detain the actress and co-accused Sikandar Khan and others and present them before the court by March 22.

The case was filed against Jahangir by fellow actor Aswad Haroon under various sections, including cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property, as well as additional sections related to threats with weapons.

The complainant alleges Nazish Jahangir for borrowing car and Rs5 million for a project, with a promise to return them within two months.

However, after six months, she failed to return the items. Haroon also claims that she sent a man named Sikandar Khan, who allegedly threatened to kill him.

In response, the actress denied the allegations, calling them a premeditated attempt to blackmail her and damage her reputation.

The plaintiff in the case submitted the arrest warrant to the Defense Police.

This is not the first time she is facing such charges. In 2020, the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) cybercrime wing in Karachi arrested her on charges of blackmailing, harassment, and distributing fake videos and posts.

Earlier, Nazish Jahangir issued a rebuttal after a fake screenshot of one of her Instagram posts went viral about Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam.
