A novel case of love jihad has come to the fore from the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh. The Police booked two persons identified as Irfan and Rehman for concealing their religious identity and trapping two Hindu girls in a ‘love’ affair. The incident came to the fore after the boys who introduced themselves as Hindus named Prem and Kuldeep respectively invited the girls to a hotel.
According to a report by Nai Duniya, the hotel manager exposed the boys after the latter provided the former with fake Aadhaar cards to book two rooms. The hotel manager then informed the local Hindu organisation and the Police who booked the accused for attempting to trap the two innocent Hindu girls.
The accused boys who introduced themselves as Hindus had created fake Aadhaar cards in the name of Prem and Kuldeep. They also created fake documents for the girls to hide their original identity. The boys showed that the girls belonged to Rajasthan and that they had come to the state of Madhya Pradesh for a few days.
However, the hotel manager caught the accused after he spotted differences in the photographs of the accused persons. He then checked the mobile phone of the accused after which he learned that the original names of the accused boys are Irfan and Rehman.
Reports mention that the accused had called the girls to a hotel named ‘Saffron’ to celebrate the birthday of one of the girls. Later they checked in at the hotel rooms at around 12 am by providing fake Aadhaar cards.
The Police took cognizance of the event and interrogated the girls. The girls, however, stated that they knew the boys through social media and that they introduced themselves to the girls as Hindus. The girls also confirmed that they didn’t know that the boys belonged to the Muslim community and that the matter came to the fore only after the hotel manager checked their identity cards. The local Hindu organizations meanwhile have demanded strict action against the accused.
The Police have booked the accused under the relevant sections of the law and are investigating the case.
