With a 16 year old minor, Nousheen Begum lodging a complaint with the Moghalpura police, a contract marriage racket came to light in the old city of Hyderabad. In her complaint Nousheen stated that her 'nikah' (marriage) was performed on June 9 without her consent. The police busted the racket and arrested six persons including two Kazis. Two Sudanese students and two women brokers who lured minor girls were also arrested.

Nousheen Begum claimed that the nikah was performed at the behest of her mother and two women brokers. Ansari, the Sudanese student, paid Rs 50,000 meher (dowry) to her mother, which was shared by the two mediators and qazis, Nousheen charged in her complaint. She told the police that the Sudanese bridegroom Mohammed Ansari had sex with her and ruined her life.

Nousheen requested the police to give her protection from the Sudanese bridegroom as she was wrongfully confined at AB Apartments of Prem Nagar in Khairatabad. She also sought action against his Sudanese friend Khaled, who misbehaved with her. Police said Zahra Begum and Ghousia Begum had been operating in the Old City scouting for poor minor Muslim girls and luring their parents into performing marriages with foreigners. These women took the help of qazis Shakeel and Mallik in preparing fake documents and performing the 'nikah'.
