Her father, Usman Jarwar, how had moved sessions judge claimed that his daughter was doing a course in midwifery in civil hospital Mirpurkhas when she was kidnapped by the accused near Mehboob hotel.

He said, when she returned home she told her parents that after she was forcibly taken away by the accused she was forced to drink some substance and thereafter she fell unconscious.
