According to a complaint filed by Mohd Mustaquddin's wife, he traveled to India with his wife and a 10-month-old child during September. He left them in Hyderabad and returned back to Saudi Arabia and placed the advert in the newspaper.

The police have registered a case against the accused under sections 498 (A) (husband or relative of husband subjecting a woman to cruelty), 420 (cheating) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).  The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP, South zone), V. Satyanarayana was quoted saying that a case has been registered against Qazi (Muslim cleric) of Shahalibanda, advocate Shakeel and Manaziruddin’s family.
