After Changur Baba, who made Hindu girls wear rings and convert them to Islam in Balrampur, UP, now a sensational case of love jihad has come to light in Shahjahanpur. Here a woman has lodged an FIR alleging serious allegations like rape, blackmailing and forced religious conversion. The victim claims that a young man befriended her by claiming to be a Hindu, made physical relations with her by promising marriage, then made an obscene video of her and kept blackmailing and harassing her for a long time.
The victim is a resident of Chowk Kotwali area and is originally a resident of Lakhimpur district. She told that about two years ago a young man named ‘Shiv Verma’ contacted her on social media. The young man befriended her by claiming to be a Hindu and gradually grew closer. His real name is Mohammad Naveed alias Kasib Pathan, who is a resident of Tareen Bahadurganj of Police Station Sadar Bazar area.
The victim told that Naveed used to adopt Hindu symbols. He used to wear tika on the forehead, Kalawa in the hand and bracelets. He kept winning her trust by making her swear in the name of gods and goddesses. Then he made relations with her on the pretext of marriage and started blackmailing her by making videos with hidden cameras. Naveed got a room on rent for the victim, where he used to come and rape her. About three months ago, the victim came to know about his reality that he is a Muslim and is allegedly part of an organized gang that targets Hindu girls.
In the FIR, the woman has claimed that Naveed’s brother Kaif and friend Aqeel are also involved with him. These people together trap other Hindu girls in the trap of love, rape them and then threaten them by making videos. The victim told that when she became pregnant, Naveed and his family pressured her to convert to Islam by reciting Kalma. When she refused to get an abortion, she was kicked in the stomach, due to which she had a miscarriage.
According to police station in-charge Ashwini Kumar, on the complaint of the victim, an FIR has been registered against six people including Naveed under serious sections. The police have arrested one accused, while the search for others and detailed investigation of the case is underway. After the case came to light, Hindu organizations protested fiercely outside the Chowk police station and called it a well-planned conspiracy of “love jihad”. The protesters accused the police of negligence and demanded immediate arrest of all the accused and strict action.
