Hajran, sister of Wali Muhammad, visited the house of Mst. Manzooran and talked with her in privacy. About 2 hours later she took her away on the pretext of making water whereafter she did not return. Sarfaraz and Muhabbat informed him (the complainant) that they have seen Wall Muhammad, Zulfiqar,' Sher All and Mst. Hajran taking away Mst.
