Jamshedpur, Feb 23: A man, identified as Shabbir Khan, allegedly attempted to convert a 14 year old Minor Hindu girl of Kadma. He also allegedly promised to marry her while introducing himself as a Hindu boy ‘Samir Kumar’. When the girl refused to entertain his advances, he threatened to post her private photographs on social media, sources said.

On coming to know about the incident, various Hindu outfits of the city reached Kadma police station and gheraoed it to register their protest against the incident. BJP leaders were also present on this occasion.

Terming the incident as just another instance of ‘Love Jihad’, BJP leader Abhay Singh said the police should immediately arrest the culprit for nurturing relationships with the minor and exploiting her emotionally and physically. He said the accused had hidden his true identity as a Muslim boy and approached the girl with a new Hindu name to mislead her into entering a relationship with him.

“The accused promised to marry the minor and pressured her to convert to Islam. He is now blackmailing to make her private photos viral on social media. Shocked by the revelation about his true identity and on coming to know about his intentions, the girl informed her well-wishers about the incident,” said the BJP leader.

Members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal, Durga Vahini and other Hindu outfits raised slogans against the incident and sought exemplary action against the culprit.
