The arrested accused (VTV Gujarat)
Exposing a one-of-a-kind WhatsApp network, which was used by Islamists to abuse and later blackmail Muslim women, found hanging out with Hindu men, the Gujrat police has arrested as many as three men. These accused have been identified as Mustakin, Najumian, and Sahil Sheikh. Following a viral video, the Vadodara police apprehended them.
Over the past few months, such incidents have been reported from across Bharat, where Islamist mobs have even thrashed women from their community for hanging out with Hindu men. They have questions like ‘Musalman kam pad gaye kya’ and more.
Notably, the arrests of the three men from Vadodara were made after the police tracked a pattern. As per the reports, the police learned about a WhatsApp group, in which they used to monitor Muslim girls. They used to keep a watch on them and confront them if found or even saw a Hindu boy around them. They used to harass Muslim girls and videotape them with their male Hindu friends and would later use the same tape to blackmail the girls’ respective families.
The police also mentioned that a similar video had gone viral in Vadodara a few months ago. In the said video, an Islamist mob thrashed a Hindu man who was having ice cream with a burqa-clad woman in a public space.
DCP Abhay Soni responded to the situation and told the media that the event came to light while he was keeping an eye on social media to make sure that no racial incidents occurred during the holiday season. Two men and women of different religions were spotted walking around in a viral video that went viral on Twitter (now X). Some onlookers encircled them and misbehaved. When the video was examined, it was discovered that WhatsApp groups had been created targeting people in where the girl and the boy were from different religions, he said.
DCP Soni also added that this particular network has spread all over the city and it seems that many youths from specific communities have joined the said social media group.
He further added, “Their modus operandi was to keep a group active for three to four months and then delete it and create a new one. Police found one such group called ‘Army of Mehndi’, whose three administrators have been arrested. They have been identified as Mustakin Imtiaz Sheikh, Buranwala Najumian Syed, and Sahil Shahbuddin Sheikh,”
Following the arrests, the accused have been charged under IPC sections 153A (committing an offence or assembling in a place of worship), 201 (Destroying evidence of a crime), and 505 (offence at a place of worship).
