In Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur district, a case of Muslim gym trainers luring young Hindu women into a love jihad trap and forcing them to convert to Islam has surfaced. The matter came to light after two of the many victims filed complaints. The Mirzapur Police swung into action and sealed three such gyms and arrested two accused men identified as Mohammad Sheikh Ali Alam and Faisal Khan.
Additional Superintendent of Police, City, Ritesh Singh said that two women came forward and filed separate complaints at the Kotwali Dehat Police Station, alleging that the accused Muslim men working as gym trainers in Mirzapur first befriended them and lured them into a trap, took private photos and videos, and eventually blackmailed and pressured the Hindu women to convert to Islam.
