A Muslim youth from the Mauganj district has been charged with the kidnapping of a 16-year-old Hindu girl and her forced conversion, according to a report in NDTV Madhya Pradesh Chhattisgarh. The incident transpired on 2nd January. The man has been identified as Iman Ali Ansari and was accused of love jihad by the minor’s family who also criticised the police and administration for their negligence in the case.
The case pertained to Sitapur village of Mauganj district in Madhya Pradesh. The victim’s father Vishwanath Gupta unveiled that the culprit who is a resident abducted his underage daughter and pushed her into embracing Islam. He even raised serious concerns regarding the Laur police station’s inaction and the district administration’s handling of this matter. The family members asserted that the occurrence was part of a larger conspiracy, but despite notifying the authorities, they did not initiate any action to arrest the offender.
The teenager’s father disclosed that despite his efforts to report the instance, the Laur police station ignored his requests. Instead of registering the complaint, the station in-charge humiliated him and drove him out of the police station, the father alleged. He said the police dismissed his concerns and appeared to be dragging their feet on the issue. Furthermore, it has been reported that Iman Ali Ansari and his family members threatened to murder the complainant and his family capitalizing on the police’s indifference.
Meanwhile, the police appeared to be passive observers. Vishwanath Gupta, expressed his distress, stating that he searched tirelessly from one door to another for several days in pursuit of his daughter, yet received no aid from the authorities. The helpless family then arrived at the office of the Inspector General of Police to lodge their complaint. The victim’s father conveyed that he hopes to get justice from there.
