The police moved in Nazareth Colony and registered case against Christian boy under sections of kidnapping and forced marriage.

The news also surfaced through sources of WVIP, one leading Human Right organization of Pakistan that Saleem Masih, father of Christian boy who married Muslim girl, was so severely tortured by police that he suffered heart attack and died. Mr. Bhatti who is District Reporter of "Daily Pakistan News" and Bureau Chief of Daily “Jinnah" visited Police station to ask about whole situation and about his two cousins who were arrested on being friend of Christian boy with whom Muslim girl married.
