Another case of grooming for sex and religion in the name of love and marriage of a minor Hindu girl has come to light from Uttar Pradesh. The case pertains to Kanpur which is emerging as the center for such crimes.
As per reports, in what happens to be the 12th case from the district this year, a Muslim youth identified himself as a Hindu to befriend a 15-year-old Hindu girl studying in class eight and earned her family’s trust by calling her ‘sister’. However, he had been sexually exploiting the girl for two years and pressurising her to marry him and convert to Islam. He even had a fake AADHAR card using his Hindu name. He has been arrested and sent to jail based on the complaint registered by the girl’s family.
The case pertains to Gopalnagar in Kanpur’s Naubasta where the girl’s family resided in a rented house. The girl’s father is a laborer and her mother also works as a house-hold help to support the family income. Three years ago, the youth who called himself Aryan Malhotra came to reside in the ground floor apartment of their house.
He gained the mother’s sympathy and affection by stating that his parents were dead. He befriended the family through his mannerisms and since he called the girl his younger sister, the family never suspected his intentions.
Having gained the family’s trust he began frequenting their home and entrapped the girl in the name of love. As the girl’s parents were out to work the whole day, he would visit their house and sexually exploit the girl. He had brainwashed the girl to such an extent that the exploitation continued for around two years.

It was in the process his inquiries that he shocking learned the youth with whom they had been rubbing shoulders with since the last three years was not a Hindu but Muslim by the name of Fateh Khan.
When his real identity stood exposed, Fateh Khan threatened the family and told them that their daughter would have to convert to Islam and marry him in a nikah ceremony. The terrorized economically backward family approached the State General Secretary of the International Hindu Council Rashtriya Bajrang Dal and Ramji Tripathi and other workers for help.

During interrogation, it was found that the accused is a resident of Bijnor.
