The woman added that 6 months ago the parents of Shahid Ansari threatened to kidnap their daughter if they failed to give in to their demands. They were accompanied by the District Sadar of Anjuman Muslimeen Committee, Habib Miyan. Shahid’s parents and Habib Miyan then threatened them and warned that if they wanted to continue staying in the village, they would have to live on their terms.

The victim’s mother narrated the incident: Mukhtar Ansari’s son Shahid, his cousin Arbaz, and four unknown accomplices abducted the 16-year-old minor girl on November 4, 2022, at around 2:30 pm. They arrived on two motorcycles, barged into their house and dragged away the minor.
