Nazish Jahangir in hot water as court orders arrest in multi-million fraud case
A court in Lahore has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for actress Nazish Jahangir in a fraud case, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
During the hearing, the judge cancelled the actress’s bail bonds after she failed to appear before the court despite repeated summons.
According to the prosecution, Nazish Jahangir is facing charges of refusing to return borrowed money.
The complainant alleged that the actress took a hefty sum but later failed to repay it as promised.
The court ordered the police to arrest and produce Nazish Jahangir before the court at the next hearing.
According to the complainant, actor Aswad, the actress had taken Rs2.5 million but did not return the amount.
He alleged that Jahangir kept his vehicle worth Rs5.5 million.
During the hearing, the actress’s counsel filed an application seeking one-day exemption from personal appearance, but the court rejected the plea.
The prosecution informed the court that charges had already been framed against the actress and that the trial entered its final stage.
In 2020, Nazish Jahangir was arrested in Karachi. The arrest came as part of a case involving charges of blackmail, harassment, and the dissemination of fake videos and posts.
Nazish was taken into custody alongside actor and singer Mohsin Abbas Haider, following a complaint by Haider's former wife, Fatima Sohail.
Fatima Sohail shared the news on social media, revealing that after a long legal battle, both Nazish and Mohsin had been found guilty by the FIA of harassing her online and circulating fake content.
Fatima Sohail had previously accused Mohsin Abbas of domestic abuse and alleged that he had an extra-marital affair with Nazish Jahangir.
