Breaking: Samiya Hijab Withdraws Charges Against Ex-Fiancé Hassan Zahid
Social media influencer Samiya Hijab has granted a conditional pardon to Hassan Zahid. The TikToker withdrew all charges against him on Friday. This decision ends weeks of legal drama that captured Pakistan’s attention.
Settlement Details Revealed
Samiya spoke to media outlets about her decision. She confirmed that both parties resolved their differences. The settlement covers all disputes between them. This includes financial matters and disagreements over videos.
Hassan Zahid faced serious charges before the settlement. Courts sent him to jail on judicial remand earlier this week. He faced accusations of threatening and attempting to abduct Samiya. Police were searching for three accomplices and a vehicle connected to the case.
The Viral Video That Started Everything
The controversy began on August 31. A video showed someone forcing Samiya into a car in Islamabad. The footage went viral across social media platforms. Samiya posted the video herself with a warning message.
She compared her situation to TikToker Sana Yusuf’s case. Samiya claimed a young man was harassing her. She said he pressured her to marry him repeatedly. The video sparked immediate police action.
Police Investigation Findings
Islamabad police registered an abduction case at Shalimar station. They filed charges after reviewing the viral video. Hassan Zahid initially got pre-arrest bail. However, police filed another FIR with additional charges.
Investigation revealed interesting details about their relationship. Police sources confirmed the pair knew each other well. They traveled together frequently in the past. Large sums of money changed hands between them.
Past Relationship Comes to Light
New information emerged during the investigation. Samiya and Hassan had been engaged previously. Hassan’s lawyer told the court about their longstanding relationship. This revelation changed public perception of the case.
Samiya explained her side of the story. She claimed Hassan physically assaulted her before. This led her to distance herself from him. Hassan visited her home to reconcile after their breakup.
Terms of the Agreement
The conditional pardon includes specific terms. Both parties agreed to delete sensitive videos. They promised not to discuss the matter on social media. Financial disputes between them are now considered settled.
Samiya will submit a written statement to court. The case will likely close after this submission. Both parties chose an out-of-court settlement over a lengthy trial. This decision benefits both sides legally and personally.
