Masih said that his son is innocent and Police have implicated him into this case (First Information Report (FIR) # 86/2009) thinking impoverished Christian would not be able to defend him self in the court of law. He alleged that Police have registered a fake case against his son merely to meet their target of registering maximum number of Cases.

Police also claimed that the suspect was illegally selling liquor and they recovered two bottles (1liter each) from the custody of the suspect. However, they could not produce the bottles before PCP.
