A horrifying case has emerged from Ramkola, Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, where police have busted an Islamist gang involved in trapping minor Hindu girls through fake love affairs, forcibly converting them, and subjecting them to sexual exploitation. This pre-planned conspiracy targeted vulnerable Hindu minors with the intent to destroy their religious and personal identity.
As per Jagran, the police have arrested four accused Islamists, including the main conspirator and a woman, who played a key role in manipulating the girls. Shockingly, the gang was involved in creating fake Aadhaar cards and SIM cards after forcefully converting the girls, clearly pointing to a coordinated and sinister conversion network. The gang had already trapped and converted three minor Hindu girls, using deceit and coercion. The girls were not only stripped of their Hindu identity but were also pushed into immoral activities.
SP Santosh Kumar Mishra informed the media that in a deeply disturbing development from Ramkola, a Hindu father filed a complaint on July 11 stating that his 15-year-old minor daughter was abducted by Arman, son of Amruddin (resident of Tekuatar, Pakdi Purwa, Ramkola), with the active help of his associate Hamdam, son of Zainuddin of Rambar. The girl was deceived under the false promise of marriage, a common grooming tactic used in love jihad-style targeting.
Upon registering the case, police investigations revealed something even more shocking: Arman and his accomplices were involved in a previous case registered at the same Ramkola police station. In that earlier incident, three minor Hindu girls from the same extended family were lured and kidnapped. At that time, the accused were unidentified and had trafficked the girls all the way to Mumbai, Maharashtra.
In a fortunate breakthrough, police were able to rescue the girls, and now, with the latest FIR, it has become clear that the same criminals were behind both incidents. Notably, one of the victims rescued earlier is the same girl abducted again on July 11, proving that these perpetrators operated with shocking boldness and targeted Hindu girls repeatedly with impunity.
In a major breakthrough, Kushinagar police arrested four individuals on Thursday for their alleged involvement in an organized gang accused of luring and abducting minor girls under false pretenses and subjecting them to unlawful activities. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused gang members had been targeting minor girls by manipulating them with false promises. After the abduction, the victims were reportedly coerced into religious conversion, and forged documents, including Aadhaar cards, were created using new identities. They were then subjected to serious forms of exploitation.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Arman Ali (23), son of Arabuddin Ali from Tekuatar Pakdi Purwa; Arbaaz (20), son of Samiullah from Tekuatar Pakdi Tola; Ikramul Haq (28), son of Mainuddin from Belwa Ramjas; and Jairunnisha (42), wife of Zainuddin Ansari from Rambar Buzurg. All are residents of the Ramkola and Kasya police station limits. Police recovered seven SIM cards, three mobile phones, a car, and several forged identification documents from their possession.
SP Mishra stated that this gang appeared to be systematically involved in exploiting minor girls through deceit and coercion. The matter is being investigated under multiple serious charges, including kidnapping, criminal conspiracy, rape, and violations under the POCSO Act and the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act. The investigation team included SHO Rajprakash Singh, SSI Subhash Chandra Srivastava, Inspector Upendra Yadav, Sadanand Gaur, and Lady Inspector Karishma Yadav, among others.
The case bears chilling similarities to the Balrampur racket run by Jalaluddin, alias Maulana Jalaluddin Chhangur, where investigators uncovered a caste‑based conversion rate list, foreign funds exceeding ₹100 crore, and a pattern of entrapment, blackmail, and forced conversions.
The SP also revealed that one of the suspects linked to this network is located in Mumbai. A police team will be sent there to investigate further and determine the full extent of the gang’s operations. Authorities will also probe whether this group has links to any larger network or is receiving support from external sources. Strict legal action will be taken against all those found involved.
