She has registered a complaint in Golabari Police Station, Howrah in the same regard.

Soon after the Apex court pronounced the judgment on August 22, the petitioner has been facing social boycott in Kolkata.

Also, Jahan's lawyer, Nazia Elahi Khan earlier said that the females in the society have stared boycotting them and called them wives of Hindus after Supreme Court's decision.
