A girl from Chennai had gone to London for pursuing higher studies but had reportedly landed in the clutches of Islamic fundamentalists.
On May 28, girl’s father and a Chennai businessman filed a case with the local crime branch police complaining that his daughter had been abducted by a group of Bangladeshi national in a well-organised crime. The Chennai-based girl had reportedly fallen in the trap of the gang which is active in the United Kingdom.
Reports said that the girl, who went for higher studies to London, is currently with Nafees, a Bangladeshi citizen who is part of a gang that has been luring girls from India and trafficking them. Nafees is the prime accused in the case and is the son of former Bangladesh member of Parliament Sardar Shakhawat Hossain Bakul.
Taking a serious note on the issue, the Government of India deputed its premier investigating agency, the National Investigating agency (NIA) to probe the matter. The NIA lodged an offence and the preliminary investigation underlines startling revelations.
A local Chennai English daily quoting girl’s father said that his daughter had been radicalised and converted to Islam by the gang which is now seeking a ransom to let the girl free.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has started the investigations into to look into the organised racket in Bangladesh involved to abduct and kidnap girls from India.
The development follows reports of ‘Love Jihad’ in Kerala, where Hindu and Christian girls had been reportedly converted to Islam and married by Muslim men.
Since the nation-wide lockdown announced on 25 March, over 100 such marriages in which the girls are lured and then converted to Islam have allegedly taken place.
A section may play down the event in the pretext that alleged rightist government led by Narendra Modi is in power in India. But the United Nations cannot be dubbed bias as its report has come out with sensational comments.
Last month, the United Nations report on terrorism said that there are “significant numbers” of Islamic State (IS) terrorists in Kerala and Karnataka. It warned that the al-Qaeda terrorist group is present in the region and is planning attacks in the Indian subcontinent.
