Islamabad police arrest man for harassing TikToker Samiya Hijab

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad police have arrested a man for allegedly harassing and kidnapping TikTok star Samiya Hijab.

The action was taken after her complaint and video statement, according to the police spokesperson.

The TikTok Star lodged an FIR at the Shalimar Police Station, accusing the man of harassment and kidnapping.

The police have lodged the FIR under Section 354, 365, 392, 500, 509, and 511 of the Pakistan Penal Code.

“Today’s incident further escalated when he attempted to forcibly abduct me from my house while I was returning his gifts. This amounts to abduction, harassment, and assault under the law. For evidence, I have CCTV footage,” she was quoted as saying in the FIR.

Samiya thanked the Islamabad police in another video on her Instagram account and said that the suspect had threatened her to take her complaint back.

Earlier, the case had taken a surprising twist after Hassan Zahid presented video recordings and transaction records to the police, which he claims prove his innocence.

According to Hassan, the allegations are entirely fabricated. He claims he had been giving Samiya Hijab large sums of money over time and has submitted evidence of bank and mobile money transfers to support his claims.

Hassan asserts that he never attempted to kidnap her or made any life threats. He describes the allegations as a “made-up story” and says the real facts are clearly visible in the videos and financial records he has provided to investigators.
