A video of Swami Yashveer Maharaj speaking about the case has gone viral on social media. He said the family had expressed fear that their daughter had been trapped in what they described as ‘love jihad’ and might have been converted.
Threatens sit-in protest if girl is not found
Swami Yashveer Maharaj has given the police seven days to recover the girl. He warned that if she is not found within this period, he will stage a sit-in protest outside the accused’s house in New Colony, Baraut, along with members of the Hindu community.
He said the protest would continue until the girl was found. The Swami also warned those involved in such cases in western Uttar Pradesh, saying that if ‘love jihad’ did not stop, Hindu society would respond strongly.

The girl’s family had already approached the police and filed a complaint seeking her recovery. According to Baghpat Police, a case has been registered under the relevant legal sections at Baraut Police Station.
In a statement posted on its official X account, Baghpat Police said the teams are making continuous efforts to find her, while officers are collecting evidence and carrying out further legal proceedings as per the rules.
