- Officers arrested gym trainer Chandni Qureshi and her father Islam Qureshi on Sunday and have booked suspects under sections for extortion, cheating, forgery and the Uttar Pradesh anti-conversion law.
- The man identified in the complaint has publicly said he embraced Islam of his own free will and defended the arrested couple, creating a direct factual dispute that investigators must resolve.
- Investigators report no nikahnama or marriage certificate has been recovered so far and have formed special teams to trace other accused and collect documentary evidence.
