A violent opposition organization whose primary object is to flare up hatred against Ahmadis known as Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) registered a blasphemy case against this elderly innocent woman. She was accused of tearing up a poster which was explicitly abusive about the Ahmadiyya Community and its founder. It was said that the Poster had verses from the Holy Scripture printed and by shredding it Kaneez committed an act of contempt against the Holy Quran.
