According to the police, the woman in her complaint mentioned that she was married to Naseem in 2007 and they have two sons and a daughter. In 2015, Naseem and his family forced the woman's father, who is a retired government employee, to give Rs 2 lakhs to get his job of driver in municipal body confirmed.

After this, Naseem started forcing her to dance in orchestra shows and indulge in flesh trade. The woman said that her mother started paying Rs 5,000 to Naseem's family per month to ensure that she was not forced to indulge in immoral activities. She further alleged that in August 2021 she was ousted from home with her children by Naseem, his mother and sisters as she refused to indulge in flesh trade and dance in orchestra to earn money for him.
