A case has been registered against TV host and actor Sahir Lodhi and his accomplice Faisal Zia for allegedly extorting Rs 4 million from a widow.

The case was registered at Shah Latif Town police station on the application of Nagma Vakil, a resident of Landhi Majeed Colony. According to case number 1569/2026, the woman told the police that she met Sahir Gohar Lodhi through Faisal Lashkarwala, to whom she had given Rs 4 million for investment purposes.

According to Nagma Vakil, Sahir Lodhi paid her Rs 2.5 million once and Rs 4 million the second time, while a total of 7 cheques were also given for the refund, which were said to be worth Rs 8 and 9 million.

The woman claims that these checks were deposited in the Quaidabad branch on the due dates, but all the checks bounced. According to her, after informing Sahir Lodhi about the situation, he gave another check of Rs 4.4 million, but this check also could not be cleared.

The colleague’s check of Rs 2 million also did not clear

According to the statement of Nagma Vakil, after contacting Sahir Lodhi again, his friend Faisal Zia gave a check of Rs 2 million, but that too could not be cleared from the bank.

The woman says that despite several attempts to return the money, the matter was not resolved, so she approached the court. She filed an application for registration of a case under sections 22-A and 22-B of the Criminal Procedure Code in the court of DJ Malir.

Following the court order, the police have registered a case against Sahir Lodhi and Faisal Zia and started investigating the incident. However, the final status of the charges in the case will be clear only after evidence and court proceedings.
