Yet another case of Grooming Jihad has been reported from the state of Uttar Pradesh. Danish, a young man from Badaun, posed as Dinesh and lured a Hindu girl from Bulandshahr to marry him. When the woman discovered Danish had lied to her about his religion, she was forced to convert to Islam by the accused and his family.

The matter pertains to village Gouramai of the Kadarchok police station area. Danish, a resident of the region, worked in Delhi. There he met a woman from Bulandshar. It is reported that Danish entrapped the woman in his love by hiding his actual faith and posing as Dinesh. The woman fell in love with the man and subsequently, the duo got married.

After their marriage, Danish took the woman to his village in Uttar Pradesh, where his parents stayed. But the woman, who thought Danish to be a Hindu, was in for a rude awakening.

As soon as she reached her in-laws’ house, she realised that Danish had lied to her about his faith and that he was a Muslim, not a Hindu as he had pretended to be. When the woman objected to their marriage, the accused got her forcibly converted to Islam. It is also being alleged that the father and the brother of the accused reportedly abused the woman, physically and mentally.

For a few days, the woman was held at the house of one Amir, resident of Chhaganpur, Mujaria. On June 12, she somehow escaped from Danish’s house reached the place of her sister-in-law, a resident of Khurja. She described her ordeal to her family members, who approached SSP (Badayun) Sankalp Sharma and filed a complaint against Danish and his family members. On the orders of the SSP, the police registered a case against 4 people and arrested the father-son duo under several sections of the anti-conversion law.
