Mangaluru, Dec 22: A 25-year-old girl, who had escaped from the clutches of her family members at Dhargudde near Moodbidri on the outskirts of the city and eloped with her boyfriend belonging to another community earlier this month, has brushed aside the allegations of ‘love jihad’.

Priyanka’s family members had fixed her wedding with one Dinesh on December 11 against her will. When Priyanka left her home on December 9, her family members and saffron groups had claimed that she was kidnapped by a Muslim boy. Local media had termed it a case of so called ‘love jihad’.

According to sources, a team of police from Mangaluru managed to trace Priyanka and her boyfriend Hyder in Mumbai. The girl has clarified the police that her boyfriend did not even force her to change her religion. She also told police that she was in love with one Hyder for past six years and that she never loved Dinesh. 

Sources also said that Priyanka’s family had shifted from Inoli village to Dharegudde in order to force her to end relationship with Hyder and marry a boy from her own caste. When she continued the relationship with her boyfriend, the family had decided to arrange her marriage with Dinesh. 

Interestingly, Hyder is also not a practicing Muslim, though he hails from a Muslim family. His family members also had reportedly warned him against marrying a girl belonging to another community saying that it may cause problems to entire family.

Dubai, May 5: Saudi Arabian prosecutors have ordered the arrest of a Saudi citizen for insulting an Asian expatriate and abusing him for not embracing Islam.

A video went viral online showing the expat, apparently with little knowledge of the Arabic language, being insulated by an Arabic-speaking man who does not appear in the clip, for having not embraced Islam and for not fasting.

A monitoring centre affiliated with the public prosecution examined the video the content of which “shows the citizen’s use of abusive words against the Asian resident on the pretext of inviting him to Islam,” the prosecution source said.

“The public prosecution closely follows up whatever infringes rights of citizens and residents including harm to their dignity and legal rights regardless of pretexts of such infringement,” the source added.
