This is misinformation. Meesha Shafi has only appeared ONCE in two years. Court keeps calling her and they keep making excuses. @saqibjillani please ask your team to provide the correct info to the public. #DontMisUseMeToo #MeToo @ambreenqureshi pls set record straight https://t.co/wq1wmNWRkM pic.twitter.com/q9t2oWLgg4

Ali Zafar had filed a complaint with FIA cyber crime wing in November 2018, alleging that various social media accounts were posting “threats and defamatory material” against him. He provided details of various Twitter and Facebook accounts to support his claim.
Reportedly Ali Zafar told the FIA, “A twitter account @nehasaigol1, which posted 3,000 defamatory tweets against me and my family only in one year, [was] created 50 days before Meesha’s allegations of sexual harassment.”
