Lahore High Court that his wife Saima and daughter Mita were
abducted by Iqbal Mustafa and Rasheed and now in a Madrassa
(religious school of Muslims). When Saima was brought to the
court she stated that she and her husband had embraced Islam
together, but her husband had changed his mind later and tortured
her also that’s why she took shelter with her daughter
in the Madrassa. Her parents testified that their daughter had
embraced Islam with her free will, so the court dismissed the
