On Wednesday, the Uttar Pradesh Police arrested one person named Chand Babu for allegedly raping a woman and forcing her to convert her religion to Islam. Chand Babu introduced himself as Doctor Vishal and duped a Hindu woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district. The Police have booked the accused under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
According to the reports, the woman is a resident of Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh. However, the incident is said to have happened in Bareilly where accused Chand Babu posed himself as Dr Vishal. He developed a love and sexual relationship with the victim woman and shot compromising videos of her. He also clicked several private pictures of the woman and later used them to blackmail her.
The accused Chand Babu is already married and is the father of two children. The woman came to know this about the accused and also that he was a Muslim and not Dr Vishal. She then began to maintain distance from the accused.
Reports mention that after that the accused started to blackmail the victim by saying that he would make public the videos and photos of the woman on social media. He then forcefully abducted the woman from Muradabad to Bareilly and locked her in ‘Mannat Guest House’ in the city. He also forced the victim woman to convert her religion to Islam.
The woman somehow managed to call the Police and inform about the incident. The Police reached the spot and rescued the woman. According to DSP Bareilly City Shweta Yadav, the woman had called on 112 on Thursday night and informed about her abduction. “The police then reached the spot and arrested the youth. Chand Babu posed himself as Vishal and made a young woman a victim of love jihad. He also forced her to convert her religion”, she confirmed.
