  The  complainant has also said that the minister did not have a daughter who is of marriageable age. It further stated that the minister’s only daughter who is 12 years of age is a primary school student and stays in a hostel in Kerala and that the fake message has  agonised the minister’s family and has also disturbed them.

Hidayutallah in his complaint also stated that the minister’s family has been receiving several phone calls from the public as well as TV Channels on the issue. He further made it clear that the girl shown in the social media had nothing to do with Khader family.The complaint said it only aimed at conveying a false message to the people that the minister had a lavish wedding for his daughter.

 The police have filed an FIR under A of the IT Act and are trying to track down the culprits.
