A 59-year-old grandmother has been jailed for four years for kidnapping and drugging her daughter after she refused to marry the man her family chose for her.According to a Daily Mail report, Shamim Akhtar had lined up Naila Afsar's marriage to one of her cousins. Naila, then 23, unable to bear the sustained pressure from her family in Bradford fled to Newcastle and entered in a relationship with Afsar Saddiq whom she is now married to.
However, the family traced her down in Newcastle and began threatening her. She was made to drink a milky liquid which contained the drug lorazepam - described in court as a 'date rape drug' and bundled into a car.
The granny's son and son-in-law are also jailed.
