Bareilly

AILAJ and Scroll oppose a Bareilly court's love jihad ruling, dismissing it as a political tool, but the judgment emphasises the real threat of religious coercion and deception.

Mohammed Alim convicted in a love jihad case; court warns of growing threats of Pakistan and Bangladesh-style religious conversions and criticises legal oversights.

Aalim has been arrested and charged with rape, criminal intimidation, and voluntarily causing harm. His father, Mohd Sabir, has also been charged with criminal intimidation under IPC section 504.

“The Inspector in Charge of Kotwali, Bareilly has been directed to investigate and take necessary legal action,” Bareilly Police said.

Hina, a Pilibhit resident, filed a complaint with Bareilly police around a month and a half after their marriage, alleging Pandit Shankhdhar of forcing her to embrace Hinduism. Hina has also accused her husband, Prem Shankar Gupta, and her brother-in-law of tricking her into marriage.

SP Rahul Bhati said, "Police teams have been deployed to search for Mohammed Alam. The postmortem of the body is being done. The accused will be caught soon."
