During this time, Shah Alam befriended her by hiding his religion and real identity. He introduced himself as a Hindu man named Sahil. It is alleged that he raped and sexually assaulted the victim for 7-8 years on the pretext of marriage. He later started backtracking on his promise and started putting pressure on the woman to convert. When she refused to convert, the accused assaulted her and threatened to kill her family. The police registered an FIR on Monday (24th June 2024) and took the accused Shah Alam into custody.
The incident is from the Modinagar police station area. On Monday (24th June), the victim complained to the police that 7-8 years ago, she had separated from her husband for some reason. During this time, Shah Alam, the son of Hasam Ali, who resides in the Modinagar police station area, came into contact with the victim.
