HC REJECTS BAIL OF TWO ACCUSED OF ‘RELIGIOUS CONVERSION’

PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad High Court has dismissed the bail application of Razmani and Ameren, accused of abduction and unlawful religious conversion of a girl for marriage, on Saturday.

Justice JJ Munir passed the order while rejecting the plea of the accused that they may be enlarged (released) on bail.

On November 17, 2020, an FIR was lodged by one Praveen Kumar at Jalesar police station of Etah that his daughter went to market in the morning but one Mohammed Javed, along with five relatives and two others (whose names were not known), abducted his daughter. Later, she was taken to Delhi and was unlawfully converted to Islam. The court rejected the bail application while relying on the girl’s statement under Section 164 CrPC in which she said that she was abducted and taken to court she was made to sign some papers that were in Urdu.
