Require a strict law similar to the Uttar Pradesh has enacted and Madhya Pradesh has stood in its Assembly against “love jihad”, more than 300 members of the Hindu Jagaran Manch on Friday held protests and blocked National Highway 8 in Udaipur in the Gomati district of Tripura, 50 km from Agartala.
Speaking to indianexpress.com, the organization’s pradesh president, Uttam Dey, said: “Love Jihad is a threat to our society. Nine such odd-numbered cases were recorded in different Tripura police stations, including Boxanagar, Bishalgarh and Udaipur, during the shutdown alone. However, the accused have not been detained in any of these cases. “
Dey said the police and administration have failed to curb the threat of strong religious conversions in the state and that only legislation can provide the necessary guarantees.
A duty officer from the Tripura police headquarters later told this publication that there had been no case on charges of “love jihad” in the last 3-4 months in the state. However, he said, two weeks ago a missing case was registered at the Bishalgarh police station in which a Muslim boy was accused of having abducted a Hindu girl. According to the police, the girl was found to be an adult and had flown to Bangalore with the boy of her own free will.
In another incident, a case was recorded in Boxanagar in the Sepahijala district in October this year under Sections 366 (A) and 376 of the IPC and Section 4 of the POCSO Act. A minor, allegedly abducted, was later recovered from Durlabhnarayan village in the same district; the defendant has not yet been arrested.
Udaipur Subdivision Police Officer (SDPO) Dhrubha Nath said protesters wondered why the main defendant in the Boxanagar case was not arrested.
“The police have recovered the missing girl. Although the accused is missing, the matter is being investigated, ”he said.
