Unveiling Deception: Alleged Love Jihad Case in Gurugram Leads to Arrests

Two men were arrested in Gurugram after a woman accused them of tricking her into marriage by concealing identities and pressing for religious conversion. The main accused, Arif Khan, allegedly posed as Aarav to marry and later pressured her to convert. The case was filed under the Love Jihad Act.

Authorities in Gurugram have apprehended two individuals implicated in a complex case of identity deception and alleged religious conversion. The primary suspect, Arif Khan, reportedly masqueraded as Aarav to marry a Hindu woman, later compelling her to adopt Islam.

The unsettling situation escalated when the woman, who hails from Bihar, became pregnant and faced coercion to terminate her pregnancy. Despite the intense pressure, she welcomed a baby boy and subsequently endured further threats of conversion. The victim ultimately fled to Bihar but returned to Gurugram as her ordeal continued.

The situation culminated in a police complaint, leading to the arrest of Khan and his associate under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Haryana Love Jihad Act, 2022. The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek to unravel the full extent of the alleged conspiracy.
