Following Krishan’s complaint, police filed a case of kidnapping against unidentified persons and started searching for the missing woman.

The National Commission for Human Rights took notice of the incidents while locals and the woman’s class fellows protested demanding arrest of the accused, but they remain at large.
According to the grieving family, Abida was a hardworking student and had recently won a laptop under the Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme.
