LAHORE (Baaghi TV) — June 13, 2026: A criminal case has been registered against Punjab Assembly member Saqib Chadhar and two other individuals in Lahore over allegations relating to cheque dishonour, fraud and a disputed property transaction involving a woman who says she is suffering from terminal cancer.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the complainant, Mahroh Arif Ali, alleged that she entered into an agreement to sell a valuable property located on Davis Road, Lahore, for Rs600 million. She claimed that the buyers paid Rs160 million as an advance but subsequently failed to honour financial commitments under the agreement.

The FIR states that a cheque worth Rs100 million issued as part of the transaction was returned by the bank due to insufficient funds. The complainant further alleged that despite repeated attempts to recover the amount, the accused failed to make payment and ultimately refused to fulfil the agreement.
According to the complaint, “a cheque worth Rs100 million was dishonoured due to lack of funds in the account when presented to the bank on the due date.”
The complainant also stated that she is “old and suffering from terminal cancer” and requested legal action to recover possession of the property and investigate the circumstances surrounding the disputed transaction.

Police registered the case under Section 489-F of the Pakistan Penal Code, which relates to the alleged dishonour of cheques issued against financial obligations. The case also includes allegations of cheating and fraudulent conduct connected to the property deal.
In her application, the complainant requested authorities to “arrest the accused, recover the alleged bogus sale deed, return possession of the property and proceed against those responsible according to law.”
As of June 12–13, the allegations remained under investigation and no court had issued a verdict regarding the claims contained in the FIR.

The development comes at a time when Chadhar is also facing scrutiny in a separate matter involving allegations made by actress Momina Iqbal. In that case, Pakistan’s National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency registered a complaint under PECA, while a Lahore court granted interim pre-arrest bail and directed the accused to join the investigation. The matter remains pending and the allegations have not been proven in court.
Legal experts note that registration of a case does not establish criminal liability and that all accused persons are presumed innocent unless proven guilty through due process. The investigation into the Davis Road property dispute is expected to determine the authenticity of documents, payment records and the circumstances surrounding the contested transaction.
The complainant has urged authorities to expedite proceedings, citing both her medical condition and the financial significance of the property involved. Meanwhile, investigators are expected to examine documentary evidence, banking records and statements from all parties before presenting findings to the court.
