UP CM Yogi Adityanath has asked officials to formulate a strategy and bring an ordinance if required to prevent religious conversions in the name of love, an official said on Friday.

“It has been seen in the recent past that women have been made to convert in the name of love and marriage and later subjected to cruelty and even murder,” the official who didn’t wish to be named said.

In Kanpur, the police had recently set up a special investigation team to look into reports of “love jihad”. Last year, the UP State Law Commission had submitted a report suggesting law to check forcible conversions. — PTI
