Grooming Jihad

A young woman from Baghpat has accused a man, identified as Adil from Alipur, of trapping her in a romantic relationship under false pretences, coercing her into religious conversion, and subjecting her to prolonged sexual abuse

Ironically, Muslims who overtly assert their religiosity in anything and everything do not want the criminals and terrorists carrying out religiously motivated attacks on non-Muslims to be associated with Islam. However, these very people prioritise Islam over the country as was recently said by an Islamist maulana on national television.

The accused Dawood Sheikh held today from Karnataka confessed that he killed Yashashri Shinde because she had rejected his advances several years ago and he feared she was in a relationship with another young man.

The convict Stevan Marston had been grooming the 13-year-old girl. In May 2022, he invited her over to an address in Telford and then invited his friend Yasser Mahmood to the house where they raped her.

In a case of grooming Jihad in Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun district, a Muslim youth named Azim Ali allegedly forced a Hindu girl to convert to Islam and perform Nikah with him

The police have filed a case under sections 354 (D), 342, 504, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Section 67A of the IT Act. The police arrested Rajuddin and Salman on Sunday. Investigation and other necessary actions are underway in the case.

In her complaint, the victim stated that she is originally from Bihar's Nawada area. She used to work in Delhi where met Mohammad Arif, a resident of Bareilly. After some time, Arif caught the girl in his love trap and brought the woman to his residence in Bareilly's Baheri. During this time, he raped her multiple times and pressurised the victim to convert to Islam around a year ago.

The accused married a Hindu woman in 1999 and has divorced his first two Muslim wives. He has fathered four kids.

The victim was already married and had a son when she came in contact with Aquib Mir. In her complaint, she said that at that time, she was in a vulnerable position as her husband was suffering from medical issues leading to stress and an emotionally weak situation. Aquib contacted her on Instagram posing as a Hindu man named Ravi Rajput in 2021. They became friends and slowly came closer. 

During the investigation, it was uncovered that Salman Khan had previously entrapped 3-4 other Hindu women using the same modus operandi.
