Residents of Indore were shocked to learn that a man was arrested by the police on Saturday night after the father of an eight-year-old boy complained that he had forcibly converted his son to Islam. The accused, who is a resident of Raja Colony in Indore's Khajrana area, was taken into custody after the police filed a case against him under the Indian Penal Code and the Madhya Pradesh Religious Freedom Act, 2021.
According to the official statement released by the police, the complainant, who is a resident of Barmer in Rajasthan, had got married in Shajapur in 2014. In 2018, the couple had come to attend a family function there, and while returning back, his wife and son went missing from the train. After months of searching, the man finally found out that his wife was living with the accused, along with his son.
The police investigation also revealed that the accused had fraudulently made a birth certificate of the boy and entered his name as the father. This was done in place of the real father, the complainant. The police are now investigating the allegation of the complainant that his son was forcibly converted to Islam.
The news of this incident has caused a stir among the people in the city, and the police have also issued notices to the church office-bearers seeking details about any religious conversions that have taken place. However, the police withdrew the notices after they were met with objection. It is yet to be seen how this case unfolds in the coming days.
