Two men have been arrested in Patna, Bihar, after a woman filed a complaint against a man and his family alleging that they forcefully converted her to Islam.
The woman hailing from Kolkata also alleged that they forced her to eat beef and blackmailed her using her porn video that her husband had made earlier, reported India Today.
The arrested are identified as Rizwi Hassan and Faizal, who are family members of the prime accused Asif from Phulwari Sharif in Patna.
The woman met Asif on Facebook and soon they developed a relationship. They exchanged their mobile phone numbers and started talking to each other.
One day, Asif asked her to come to Patna and after refusing initially, she finally agreed to go to Patna after he consistently requested her and agreed to marry her.
According to the woman, Asif raped her at a hotel in Mithapur area of Patna after making her take a soft drink which was laced with sedatives. He also made a video of her being raped. Then she returned to Kolkata. But Asif started blackmailing her threatening that he would publish the video online.
As she was completely dejected and afraid of the video being published, she didn’t file a complaint.
After a few days, Asif again called her and repeated his promise to marry her. After making the promise, he asked her to come to Patna once more. Believing his promise, the woman once again went to Patna. He again sexually abused her.
Asif took her to meet his parents after the incident. They asked her to convert to Islam if she wanted to marry him. They took her to a Madarsa and made her live there for one month for learning and accept Islam. She was also forced to consume beef there.
The woman called her mother in Kolkata when the family continued torturing her despite accepting Islam. Her mother came to Patna and met the family requesting them to release her daughter. The family rejected her request and assaulted the mother.
Finally, the woman and her mother decided to file a complaint with the police leading to the arrest.
