Zarnab’s name surfaced in the scandal following explosive allegations made by S.K., the former boyfriend of fellow TikToker Minahil Malik. S.K. accused Minahil of not only leaking her own videos but also allegedly sharing explicit content involving Zarnab Shastri in an attempt to damage her reputation. He further issued warnings to other influencers, including Farah Haider.

These developments come on the heels of Minahil Malik’s own video leak controversy, which erupted during Eid. Despite denying the authenticity of the videos and labeling them as part of a defamation campaign, Minahil filed a formal complaint with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). She has vowed to pursue legal action and clear her name.
Imsha Rehman, another TikTok personality affected by a similar scandal, recently broke her silence after months of social media absence. She forgave Abdul Aziz, the accused, during court proceedings, reflecting the complex emotional toll these incidents have on public figures.
Likewise, influencer Sajal Malik faced backlash after fake explicit videos allegedly featuring her went viral. Though unverified, the circulation of such content highlighted the recurring digital vulnerabilities faced by Pakistani content creators.
With multiple cases now under investigation, digital rights activists and internet users alike are calling for stronger cybercrime laws and proactive enforcement to safeguard online personalities. The ongoing fallout from these scandals continues to raise alarms about the lack of privacy protections in Pakistan’s digital landscape—especially for women influencers, who are disproportionately targeted.
As the FIA looks deeper into the latest allegations involving Zarnab Shastri, the nation watches closely, hoping for accountability and reform in an increasingly dangerous digital space.
