According to a criminal branch official, Farooq Kabir married Sanam in Uzbekistan last year and has been living in India since then. The couple's problems began after the birth of their daughter in December. The conflict arose from disagreements over the kid's nationality, as Sanam and her parents desired for the infant to obtain Uzbek citizenship, which Kabir opposed.

Sanam carried the child away in revenge, causing Kabir to file a complaint with the Versova police. Following the complaint, the Mumbai crime branch located Sanam, her mother Dilfuza, and the infant in Amritsar and returned them to Mumbai.

The girl, Sanam, and Dilfuza, according to the crime branch official, have been handed up to Versova Police. On December 21, Kabir filed a FIR at Versova Police Station against his Uzbek citizen wife Sanam, her mother Dilfuza, and his stepfather Tejas Khanna.

Tejas Khanna is being sought by the Mumbai Police in connection with this case.
