Islamabad (Web Desk) – An Islamabad district and sessions court on Monday granted bail to Hassan Zahid after social media influencer Samiya Hijab formally withdrew her harassment allegations and informed the court she no longer wished to pursue the case.
At the start of the hearing, Hijab told the judge that she and Zahid had reached an out-of-court settlement. She further stated that she had no objection to Zahid being granted bail or even being acquitted in the future. The court approved bail for Zahid, directing him to submit surety bonds worth Rs20,000 in each of the registered cases.
Earlier this month, Hijab, an Islamabad-based influencer with nearly 850,000 Instagram followers, accused Zahid—an old acquaintance—of repeated harassment. She alleged that he had been threatening her and pressuring her to marry him.
Her claims sparked widespread concern on social media, with many users calling for swift legal action. Police subsequently registered multiple cases and launched an investigation.
