The accused confessed that he was a Muslim and justified his crime by saying that a man is allowed to marry four women according to his religion. He also forced the victim to convert her religion to Islam and stay together with his family which included his first wife and two children.
Sakir Mohammad, pretending to be Rajkumar, also claimed he was a widower himself and that's how he started to get close to the woman who was a widow herself.
After the Court marriage the accused began to harrass the woman. He forced her to convert her religion to Islam, offer Namaz and also asked her to consume meat. On being refused, he used to thrash her brutally.
