In Uttar Pradesh’s Moradabad district, a woman has filed a case against one Altaf accusing him of pretending to be Akash and sexually exploiting her after initially convincing her into a relationship. The accused later pressured the victim to convert to Islam. However, as the victim refused, Altaf threatened to rape her 4-year-old daughter. The accused has been arrested by the police.
The incident occurred in the Majhola police station area of Moradabad district. According to the victim’s complaint, she lives in the Linepar area of Moradabad. She is married and the mother of a four-year-old girl. She used to travel to Amroha for a job where, she met Altaf, who introduced himself as Akash and befriended her. Altaf gradually trapped her in a relationship under his false identity, the complainant has said.
The victim claimed that one day she was alone at her home in Moradabad when Altaf came to meet her. Finding the victim alone, the accused allegedly raped her. When the victim objected and tried to aeert that she would complain to the police, Altaf under his Akash identity allegedly convinced her that he would soon marry her anyway and she should refrain from it. The victim, however, was left baffled after learning that the man she thought was Akash was in reality, Altaf. In her complaint, the victim said that Altaf had recorded her obscene videos.
She further alleged that Altaf used those obscene videos to blackmail her and separate her from her husband. Subsequently, Altaf forced the victim to reside with him by threatening to make her obscene video viral online. The accused also started coercing the victim to eat meat and wear the burqa. Moreover, Altaf asked the victim to offer namaz five times a day and upon refusing, he used to assault the victim.
“On September 2, 2024, Altaf came to my house and threatened me that I would have to accept Islam. When I refused to do so, he took off the clothes of my 4-year-old daughter. He threatened that if I do not accept Islam, he will rape my daughter. I somehow escaped and reached the police station and informed the police about this,” the victim said.
On the victim’s complaint, Moradabad police have filed a case against Altaf under relevant sections and arrested him. SP City Kumar Ranvijay Singh stated that a case has been registered against the accused Altaf under various provisions, including the POCSO Act. The accused has been arrested and is being questioned.
