Nilgiris Police issued a statement on September 2, stating that Ashika Parveen, a 22-year-old woman who was found dead on 23rd June 2024, was Muslim by birth. According to the media reports, it was a case of Love Jihad. When Parveen, who was married to 30-year-old J Imran Khan died, her in-laws informed her family that she had suffered a seizure and later died in the hospital.
But the chemical analysis report revealed that she died of cyanide poisoning, turning the case into a murder probe. They confessed to poison her when police questioned Parveen’s husband and mother-in-law. Police said in a statement, ‘The chemical analysis report was received on August 20 and it stated that the cause of death was cyanide poisoning. Based on the report, the deceased’s husband and mother-in-law were questioned, and they confessed that they poisoned her with cyanide’.
Police initially suspected that the murder was due to dowry demands that Parveen was unable to fulfil but later in the probe, police discovered that her mother-in-law, 47-year-old J Yasmin, was having an affair with a 56-year-old named N Khaleef. Imran’s family and Khaleef conspired to kill Parveen to prevent her from revealing Yasmin’s affair to others.
According to the media reports, Parveen was a Hindu who had converted to Islam to marry Imran, suggesting it was a case of Love Jihad. Police issued a warning against spreading rumours, said, ‘It is learnt that some miscreants are spreading false news that the deceased Ashika Parveen is a Hindu by religion and she was converted by love jihad. It is clarified that the deceased Ashika Parveen is a Muslim by birth and the murder was due to a family issue. Severe legal action would be taken against those who spread false news.”
Recently in a case, a Hindu girl filed a complaint in the Bisauli Police Station area of Badaun against one Sohail who was pressuring her to convert to Islam and do Nikah. The accused forced-fed her meat and was pressuring her to offer namaz. Sohail and his family members brutally assaulted her when she refused to do so.
