When the family went to the PG where she was staying, they found a note written by her in which she said that she was marrying Mohammad willingly, and if she was stopped, then she would commit suicide, the family said.

The family alleged that Asif Mohammad, who runs a coaching centre, lured the woman, who had come to learn Spanish, into a "love trap", impregnating her twice.
