Samiya confirmed she would not pursue the case
Social media influencer and content creator Samiya Hijab has decided to withdraw her kidnapping and harassment case against Hassan Zahid.
She confirmed during an interview that she has reconciled with Hassan, forgiving him “for the sake of Allah”.
It was reported that both parties have formally withdrawn their allegations.
Hassan apologised and assured that he would never repeat such actions.
He promised not to harass, defame, or threaten Samiya again, pledging instead to live more responsibly moving forward.
Previously, police had requested an extension of Hassan’s physical remand for another five days to continue investigations.
However, the presiding judge dismissed the request and ordered Hassan to Adiala Jail on judicial remand for 14 days.
With this reconciliation, Samiya confirmed she would not pursue the case, opening the door for Hassan’s bail approval.
She said that Hassan expressed shame for his actions, and his family personally reached out to apologise.
Samiya revealed that Hassan’s mother approached her, while his father also sought forgiveness on his son’s behalf.
She explained that their gestures of regret influenced her decision, especially since she no longer felt personally threatened.
Samiya added that she wanted to end her trauma and focus completely on rebuilding her career in digital media.
Hassan Zahid had been arrested on September 2, 2025, after Samiya filed a complaint at Islamabad’s Shalimar Police Station.
The case was registered under several sections of the Pakistan Penal Code, including kidnapping, robbery, defamation, and harassment.
The suspect had already been remanded twice before the court eventually ordered his transfer to Adiala Jail.
The situation previously sparked outrage when Pakistani YouTuber Zaid Ali’s mother, Naheed Noor, shared her controversial views.
Naheed Noor criticised Samiya, claiming that TikTokers exploit relationships for money and gifts before unfairly accusing men later.
She called such actions “haram kamayi” (forbidden earning) and urged young women to seek halal ways of earning instead.
Her remarks divided the internet. Some users agreed with her harsh assessment, while others strongly condemned her perspective.
Critics accused Noor of endorsing misogyny and victim-blaming, saying such statements only serve to justify abusive behaviour.
A user said: “You went out of Pakistan but still have a misogynistic personality.”
Another wrote: “It’s people like you who justify abuse.”
One commented: “Your son dresses up as a woman for skits, which is also haram. So is his earning haram too?”
