Thomas mentioned that Anju has stopped talking to him and only communicates with her mother. He doesn’t know how she got her passport or visa. He also denied any speculations about criminal activities related to the incident. Anju’s father described her as mentally disturbed and eccentric. According to a recent report, Anju converted to Islam and now goes by the name Fatima. She is living with her Pakistani friend Nasrullah in the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
