Inkaar is a 2019 Pakistani television series produced by Momina Duraid under her banner MD Productions. The show airs weekly on Hum TV every Monday, taking over the timeslot previously held by "Aatish." It features a talented cast including Yumna Zaidi, Imran Ashraf, Sami Khan, and Rehan Sheikh. The narrative centers around the struggles and eventual fight of a young woman against a corrupt and flawed justice system, drawing inspiration from the real-life incident involving Khadija Siddiqui, who was infamously stabbed by her classmate in broad daylight.
The series has also been broadcast in Pashto on Hum Pashto 1 under the same title and began airing on "Zindagi" in India starting 23 February 2023.
