In the case of Love Jihad, the Noida police has arrested Sajid for raping the victim for three years on the pretext of marriage and then forcing her to convert.
The victim is a manager in a Noida firm, and Sajid works in the same company.
For three years, Sajid was raping the victim on the pretext of marriage. When the victim expressed the wish to get married, he started forcing her to convert. She refused.
In the meantime, Sajid married another girl and disappeared. In three years, Sajid had taken five lakh rupees from the victim.
The police registered the case on August 30, and since then, they had been searching for Sajid and arrested him on Thursday (September 16).
The Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh has a new law to check any forced conversion and any fraudulent conversion for marriage.
There is an elaborate procedure for approval to convert, and the sanction of the district magistrate is a must. There is a stringent provision for the violators.
The law has a provision for a jail term of one to five years with a penalty of Rs 15,000 for forceful religious conversion.
