TikToker Samiya Hijab has conditionally forgiven Hassan Zahid, who was accused of harassment and issuing threats, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
According to sources, the Islamabad-based TikToker forgave him conditionally following a high-profile case that had drawn significant public and media attention.
Insiders added that the duo had ‘resolved their differences’ as Hassan Zahid addressed Samiya’s concerns.
The dispute between the two began when Samiya Hijab accused Zahid of harassment and threats a few days ago.
She alleged that Zahid was intimidating her, which led her to approach the authorities. A case was filed, and it soon became high-profile.
The court rejected Zahid’s bail plea, after which law enforcement was directed to take action. The case quickly became a focal point on social media.
Activists rallied behind the TikToker, issuing statements of solidarity and urging the authorities to take stern action against Zahid.
The Shalimar police registered two FIRs against him – one for abduction and another for issuing threats and snatching cash.
During a hearing before Judicial Magistrate Yasir Mahmood Chaudhry, police sought an eight-day physical remand in the abduction case. However, the court rejected the request and sent the accused to jail on judicial remand.
At the same time, the court approved a two-day physical remand in the threats and robbery case, allowing investigators to recover Zahid’s mobile phone, a V8 vehicle, and weapons allegedly used in the crime.
Samiya Hijab has found herself at the centre of multiple controversies this year. Earlier, she faced a storm of criticism when a private video surfaced online.
Samiya denied any involvement, calling the clip fake and AI-generated, and alleged that her ex-boyfriend was behind the leak in an attempt to malign her.
The scandal quickly turned into a case of cyber harassment, prompting her to announce that she would approach the FIA Cybercrime Wing for justice.
The back-to-back crises have taken a ‘devastating toll’ on Samiya’s mental health. She claimed that the harassment and abuse pushed her to the brink, admitting that she attempted suicide twice before finding the strength to carry on for her mother’s sake.
Drawing parallels with the tragic case of fellow TikToker Sana Yousaf, who was murdered after rejecting a marriage proposal, Samiya has called for stronger protections for women facing online defamation, stalking, and threats.
