National-level baseball player Sanjana Barkade committed suicide by hanging herself after facing continued threats to convert to Islam in the Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh.
The NCPCR stated that during the investigation, the students confirmed that they were forced to follow Islamic religious practices and wear hijab at the school. Further, the school was using a wrong geographical map of India.
Confirming the DEO's negative involvement in the case, Minister Inder Singh Parmar said, “Prima facie information that is coming out that the District Education Officer (DEO) has given wrong information, that is why the DEO is guilty."
The woman filed a police complaint against the accused and indicated that the latter wanted to convert her religion. Indore's Additional DCP Rajesh Raghuvanshi confirmed the matter and said that the accused has been arrested based on the complaint filed by the woman.
