The gory incident which had taken place in the month of May at the residential address of the family in Manchester had quite shaken up the old man too and he had threatened his daughter that he would kill her himself since he did not want his sons to have blood stained hands said the prosecuting lawyer according to popular tabloid reports.
All this was quite upsetting for the young actress and she had reportedly gone to seek police protection fearing for her safety after having jumped from the window of her bedroom.
Afshan Azad, had however reportedly requested the police not to arrest her father and brother ass that would prove very dangerous for her and said that she had gone only to seek protection from the authorities and nothing else.
