Anmol told investigators that her childhood dream was to become a model, but her family opposed it. To pursue this dream, she took cash and gold ornaments from an apartment and moved to Lahore in 2008. There, she met Rana Nasir, whom she married at 14, unaware he was an "international drug dealer."
