It was then that the Falaknuma police asked him to lodge a complaint at the Afzalgunj police station, as the hotel where he was staying came under the jurisdiction of that police station. However, the Afzal Gunj police directed him to Chandrayangutta police station referring to the house he booked for temporary stay at Gazi Millat in Chandrayangutta.
Meanwhile the Chandrayangutta police registered Arif’s complaint and sent Anis for a medical test to Government Maternity Hospital, Koti. On October 20, the Chandrayangutta police received a report from the maternity hospital stating "Anis is a female and can lead a normal sexual life".
During this time, Anis booked a police case against Arif and his sister Rehana Begum saying that the duo had tortured her after the marriage at the lodge. Police then booked a harassment case against Arif and Rehana and arrested them on Saturday night. According to the police, the next day, on October 21, Anis and her mother came along with relatives of Arif and requested the police to release them as the issue had been settled between them.
Yet, the Police refused to release them as a case had already been booked. They sent the couple to Osmania Hospital for psychological counseling. As the doctors were not available there, they were redirected to Mental Hospital, Erragadda. However, the couple did not go for counseling at Erragadda. Arif and his sister are now in judicial remand.
The Andhra Pradesh Mahila Samakhya, an organization working to protect women's rights in the state, is demanding the state government to take severe action against the police who instead of arresting Arif had sent Anis for medical test and then for psychological tests.
