The complaint stated that their children were being coerced into changing their religion under the pretext of playing online games.
The children had reportedly abandoned their own faith and started discussing matters related to another religion, as their entire activity had changed. They had even started visiting religious places of the other faith, leaving their own. The police registered a case and conducted a thorough investigation. As the claims made by the affected family were found to be valid, three other similar cases came to light. Subsequently, the police intensified their efforts and arrested a Maulvi in connection with the case. Meanwhile, Shahnavaz Maksood Khan, alias Baddo, had managed to flee and was later apprehended in Maharashtra.
He was brought to Ghaziabad on transit remand. After the interrogation, Baddo was presented before the court. The court has ordered a 14-day judicial custody for him.

The police acted swiftly, leading to the arrest of a Maulvi, while Baddo was absconding. He was later arrested in Maharashtra.
