Following this, the girl separated from him and asked him not to contact her again. Anwar, according to the student, did not stop even after this. In September 2022, the girl’s engagement took place in Mumbai. When he found out about her engagement, he began blackmailing her and forcing her to marry him.
One day he reached the girl’s house, and finding her alone in the house, he raped her taking the opportunity. He then threatened to ruin the engagement, and forced her to convert to Islam and marry him. He also threatened to disclose to everyone that he raped her, in order to blackmail her.
After such harassment and torture continued for weeks, on Thursday (December 01, 2022), the student informed her family members of this. Following this, the family sought assistance from Hindu groups and went to the police station.
When the situation was brought to their attention, Bajrang Dal activists went to the police station and urged that the accused be arrested. Following this, the police filed an FIR against Anwar under different sections of the IPC, including rape and pressuring for religious conversion.
According to the Station House officer of the police station, the accused has been arrested and the police are investigating all the allegations by the 25-year-old victim. The accused, Anwar Khan alias Annu, son of hakim Khan, is a resident of the Sikandrabad colony in the Sadar Bazar area of Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
