Dr. Nowhera Sheikh’s victory with the help of dignity and legal supremacy
New Delhi (Press Report: Mutiur Rehman Aziz) Mohammed Aqeel alias Rashid and Mohammed Muneeb alias Abdullah, from Shimoga, Karnataka, who had got a job as assistant and technical support in Heera Group, later, in collusion with enemies and wrongdoers, became millionaires overnight, but started conspiring against their own company, which had arranged salt and bread for Aqeel and Muneeb. Aqeel and Muneeb stole the company’s cheques and tried to get crores of rupees from it by depositing 18 cheques from the seized bank account in the account, later when the cheques from the Heera Group account, which was closed due to legal issues, bounced, they simultaneously registered a case on eighteen cheques and hanged themselves. The High Court has consequently stayed the non-bailable warrant issued against scholar Dr. Nowhera Sheikh and imposed a stay on the matter. In an era when lies and rumors spread faster than truth on social media, running a campaign of false allegations against a respected figure has become a dangerous trend. But when that figure is a courageous, dignified and law-abiding woman like Dr. Nowhera Sheikh, she not only confronts such negative campaigns with moral high ground but also responds firmly through the law. Dr. Nowhera Sheikh, who is not only a successful businesswoman but also a well-known social activist and political leader, recently took strong legal action against a person named Muhammad Aqeel and Muhammad Muneeb.
Victory of truth and social lesson: This step by Dr. Nowhera Sheikh is an example for all those public figures who are victims of character assassination, accusations and lies spread on social media but remain silent. She says that silence sometimes becomes the help of the oppressor. That is why they have raised their voice not only for themselves but also for all the women, youth, and activists who have hope in them.
The need for ethics in the digital world: This incident has once again highlighted how much the importance of ethics, responsibility, and truth has increased in today’s digital world. Anyone can defame any respected figure through a phone camera or keyboard, and this act affects not only that person but also his family, his team, and thousands of his supporters. Dr. Nowhera Sheikh took the issue to court with great gentleness and dignity, proving that there is no need to shout to speak the truth, one should just have faith in the law.
Future course of action: Dr. Nowhera Sheikh’s legal team has announced that if Muhammad Aqeel and Muhammad Muneeb do not apologize, they will file a complaint against them in the Cyber Crime Cell, file an FIR under criminal provisions, file a civil court for damages, and expose every lie they have told in the media. This is not just action against one person, but the beginning of a systemic change where the liar realizes that the truth will not be answered only by silence, but also by the law. Global impact: The resonance of this case was not limited to India, but supporters of the Heera Group living around the world, and Muslim women who consider Dr. Nowhera Sheikh as a role model, also expressed solidarity on social media. Supporters in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the US, and the UK supported this legal action through videos, posts, and messages and demanded strict laws against those who make false allegations. Dr. Nowhera Sheikh’s act is not only a defense of her self-respect, but also a clear message to society: "The truth can be suppressed, but never destroyed. Lies have a short lifespan, and the truth ultimately prevails.” This incident is a lesson—not only for those who believe in truth but also for those who consider lies to be power. In her own words, Dr. Nowhera Sheikh said: "I do not desire any revenge, I only want the truth to be valued and those who lie to face the law. For me, my honor, my beliefs, and the well-being of my supporters are everything.
