In a strange case what people in Barmer are terming as ‘Love Jihad’, a family has lodged an FIR with the Barmer police to bring back their teenage daughter from Kupwara in Jammu and Kashmir. The girl has supposedly converted to Islam after getting married to a boy Gulzar Khan who was working in a cafe in Barmer.
Chanda (name changed) now Jinab had left home on the pretext of going to her sister’s house in Varodara on March 16 but headed to Kashmir instead. Later she has sent documents of her conversion and her nikahnama executed in Jammu and Kashmir to her family. But family claims that the nikahnama is forged as the girl was in Barmer on the day she is said to have got married. Similarly, the family claims that she was in Mumbai on the day she was supposedly converted, as per the documents sent by the girl from Kashmir. The family has the proof of both.
“Chanda left home to go to Varodara to her sister’s house on March 16. The last time she used her Rajasthan sim was at 12.17 am on March 17 to tell her sister that she would be reaching at 4.00 am. Her location was Sanchore. She then disappeared. Police have told us that she got off at Ahmedabad,” said Lait Daga, Chanda’s cousin to DNA.
“As per documents her conversion took place on December 31, but we have photographs and video of her at New Year Party in Mumbai in her Bua’s flat. Documents say nikah took place on February 20, but she was in Barmer appearing for exams. We have her admit card where she is marked present,”added Daga.
A police team had gone to Kupwara but came back empty handed. All they got were papers from Jammu and Kashmir High Court that has ordered protection to Chanda aka Jinab and Gulzar Khan as they are both adults.
According to CO Barmer Amar Singh Ratnu, “The girl had another number and we traced that to Delhi and Srinagar. Our team had gone but the J&K High Court order restrains us. We contacted the Kupwara SP for help to meet the girl and take statements, but they were not too keen to extend support. The team cannot move in unfamiliar unsafe terrain without that.”
In view of the evidences provided by the family, we have sent one more police team. It is presently in Kashmir,” added Ratnu.
As per sources that did not wish to named, “Kupwara is a terrorist affected area and it is not possible to trace Chanda aka Jinab without police help. The accused Gulzar Khan’s brother is in Jammu and Kashmir police.”
The family is now planning to move court with their evidence to seek justice.
