The victim girl only got to know about the real identity of the accused when she went to his ancestral house at Jadopur after she got pregnant; it’s been learnt that the accused family also pressurized the victim to abort the child and get married to Alim after converting to Islam.

It’s been reported that after the girl refused to convert, the family of the accused asked Alim to get an abortion, which was later done at a private nursing home in Hafeezganj; after the abortion, the accused Alim and his family also threatened Dhan Devi for dire consequences if she ever told anyone about the incident.

However, the victim girl mustered courage and filed a complaint against the accused at the Devraniyan police station on May 29. As of now, the accused has not been arrested by the police.
