LHC Issues Protective Bail to Momina Iqbal’s Husband in Threat Case

On Monday, the Lahore High Court, issued interim protective bail to the husband of actor Momina Iqbal over accusations of threatening PML-N MPA Saqib Chadhar.

Accompanied by his legal team, Hamza Habib, the actress’ husband, appeared before the court proceedings.

The counsel stated that the petitioner sought to join the investigation conducted by Jhang police to clear his name, however there were fears of unlawful detention.

The lawyer urged the court to approve protective bail, enabling the petitioner to approach the concerned district court for pre-arrest bail.

Justice Abher Gul Khan granted protective bail to the petitioner valid until June 1, while ordering him to move the relevant court before the next date of hearing.

According to police, a case was registered in Jhang against Hamza for allegedly making life threats to a ruling party MPA.

Habib told the media that he had entered into nikah with Momina, adding that she was his wife and his “honour.”

He also announced his and Momina’s wedding which is done two days before.

He claimed that MPA Chadhar had registered a fabricated FIR against him.

He more alleged that the MPA had tried to contact him, asking him to step away from Momina in exchange for money.

He said Chadhar should keep his money to himself, adding that “he cannot buy me.”
