UP Love Jihad: Police Accused Of Filing FIR "Just To Gain Praise"
The family members of Owais Ahmed, who was arrested under UP's newly passed anti-conversion law that targets 'love jihad', said the state police had forced the bride's family to file the FIR. Owais' father Mohammad Rafeeq said, "They [Police] beat me up and might be threatening the woman's family too." However, Bareilly (Range) DIG Rajesh Pandey has denied the allegations and said that the case was registered on merit.
