According to reports, soon after the girl went missing on August 5, her relatives approached the Shamshabad police to file a missing complaint. Alleging police apathy, the father of the girl, however, claimed that the police registered the complaint only on August 9.
Despite the complaint being registered, the Shamshabad police put in no effort to locate the girl, until the distressed father of the victim, approached the IG and SSP office on Sunday, August 29. Soon after the intervention of the higher authorities, the Shamshabad police plunged into action and formed teams and began probing the case.

With the help of his relatives, Imran, thereafter, forced her to convert to Islam and married her. Imran Khan’s relatives have also reportedly, threatened to kill the victim’s father.
