After fight with husband, woman files case: NIA steps in to probe ‘forced conversion’

Ahmedabad, Jan 29: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has decided to probe into the claims of forced conversion of a Gujarat-born Malayali woman, who married a Muslim man from Kerala and after a fight with him accused him of trying to take sell her to terrorists in Syria.

Based on the complaint lodged by Akshara Bose (25), who had moved the Kerala High Court last year against her husband Mohammad Riyaz, a native of Thalassery, the NIA registered the case on Sunday, January 28. The case, which was earlier handled by the police, will now be handled by the NIA.

The NIA had, in November last year, said that it was ready to take up the investigation into the case if the HC wanted. The agency is already probing the Hadiya case, wherein the Supreme Court had recently ruled that the investigation could go as planned, except that her marriage to Shafin Jahan would not be probed.

What’s the Case?

Bose, born into a Hindu Ezhava family, is originally a native of Pathanamthitta in Kerala and resides in Gujarat along with her family. In her petition to the High Court, she had said that she met Mohammed Riyas while she was studying in Bengaluru.

She accused Riyas of forcing her to have sexual relations with him and recording the act. He then blackmailed her into converting to Islam and marrying him, after which Bose took the name Aisha, she told the court.  

She further alleged that he forged her Aadhaar card, got the marriage registered, and also forced her to listen to sermons by Dr Zakir Naik. She also accused her husband’s mother of colluding with him and alleged that they received gifts, in cash and kind, for converting a non-Muslim. She said she was also forced into wearing a veil and supporting ISIS.

Bose had gone to Saudi Arabia too along with Riyas in 2017. However, in her complaint, she alleged that she was forced to go to Saudi Arabia, where she was confined to a rented flat and was told that they would move her to Syria to “sell her to ISIS terrorists.”

She claimed that she managed to get in touch with her parents somehow, who got her a ticket back to Ahmedabad. She also alleged that there was a threat from Riyas and an activist of the Popular Front in Kerala.

However, those who know the couple closely claim that it was a love marriage and not a forced conversation. The woman decided to take revenge against him husband after a fight with him in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, sources from NIA said that the agency would probe into all allegations made by the woman including forced conversion and attempt to sell her to terrorists.

In her complaint , she included everything to tarnish muslims... forced conversion, family & community support for conversion, flow of money for conversions.. forced sex, recording it to blackmail... forced to watch Zakir naik videos (to prove him as terrorist), connecting to popular front (to expand propaganda)... etc   . entire story seems hatched by Sangh parivaar or NIA itself for sangh parivaar....

Fantastic Cock & Bull story. It reminds me of CHANDAMAMA monthly story book I used to read half a century back. Instead of sneking into Muslims bed rooms, had these people searched few Ashrams in the country, thousands of sisters would have been saved and billions of wealth unearthed and loads of illegal arms & amuntions would have been seized. What a pathetic state of our great nation today!!!

The United States of America has bought almost the entire world's supply of remdesivir, one of just two drugs proven to treat COVID-19. 

“President Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorised therapeutic for Covid-19,” said the US health and human services secretary, Alex Azar. 

“To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it. The Trump administration is doing everything in our power to learn more about life-saving therapeutics for Covid-19 and secure access to these options for the American people.”

The announcement implies that no other country in the world will be able to buy remdesivir for next three months at least.

The anti-viral drug patented by the US-based Gilead biotech firm is the only one approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to treat patients with the novel coronavirus.

The Trump administration has already shown that it is prepared to outbid and outmanoeuvre all other countries to secure the medical supplies it needs for the US.

“They’ve got access to most of the drug supply [of remdesivir], so there’s nothing for Europe,” said Dr Andrew Hill, senior visiting research fellow at Liverpool University.

Remdesivir, the first drug approved by licensing authorities in the US to treat Covid-19, is made by Gilead and has been shown to help people recover faster from the disease. 

The first 140,000 doses, supplied to drug trials around the world, have been used up. The Trump administration has now bought more than 500,000 doses, which is all of Gilead’s production for July and 90% of August and September.
