The police have detained the accused Arman Ansari and are interrogating him. Station House Officer Rajesh Sah said that the sister and mother of the accused were also pressuring the victim to change her religion and get married. Both of them also forced the victim to have physical relations with the accused by saying that Islam is better.
The victim and a girl named Tamanna were classmates, which led to the development of their friendship. As a result, the victim started visiting Tamanna’s residence in Keshavpuri Basti. It was during this period that Tamanna introduced the victim to her brother, Arman Ansari, and they subsequently began interacting with each other.
According to the victim’s complaint, soon after their friendship began, Armaan Ansari started exerting pressure on her to engage in intimate relations. When the victim declined, he then began pressuring her to undergo religious conversion and marry him. The victim further stated that the accused was accompanied by his mother and sister during these incidents.
On the other hand, the police are conducting an investigation into the alleged case of religious conversion involving a Hindu youth in Bullawala, Doiwala. As part of their investigation, the police sent the mobile phone and laptop of the young man to the laboratory for examination. Given the youth’s unstable mental condition, he has been admitted to the hospital for necessary treatment. The police plan to conduct their interrogation once his health condition improves.
