Amid the ongoing controversy of love jihad in Faridabad’s Nikita Tomar murder case, another incident of abduction and alleged forced conversion of a Hindu dalit staff nurse has been reported from Nuh district in Mewat area. An FIR has been registered at the Bichhor police station.

The father of a nurse, a native of Mahendergarh, has lodged a complaint against a man, identified as Muhammad Iqbal, a resident of Neemka village. Om Prakash, the father of the woman, alleged that Iqbal, who was stalking his daughter for the past six months and pressuring her to convert and marry him, abducted her.

The woman was employed as a nurse at a primary health centre in Singar village. When his daughter had visited her home, around 20 days ago, she appeared scared and stressed. “She told us that Iqbal was stalking her and threatening her to marry

him. She had been refusing his moves for the last six months, but he often intercepted her way and forced her to speak to him. He threatened to abduct and rape her. I fear she has been raped and killed,” the father said.

Following the complaint, an FIR has been registered against the accused under Sections 363, 366 and 506 of the IPC, and under the SC/ST Act at the Bichhor police station.
