After several days, Senator Afnan submitted a formal complaint to the Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Operation Islamabad, Malik Jamil Zaffar, seeking the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Sher Afzal Marwat.
Consequently, the Aabpara Police Station registered an FIR against Sher Afzal Marwat under Section 352 (Punishment for assault or criminal force otherwise than on grave provocation) and Section 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Pakistan Penal Code.
