Newsroom, Feb 28:  Kerala girl Hadiya alias Akhila, who had faced torture for embracing Islam and then marrying a Muslim man, is now a doctor. Her husband Shafin Jahan, who had to face the allegation of so called ‘love jihad’ from a section of political parties and media, has shared this news with the people through a social media post.

“This shining victory is an outstanding achievement because it comes at the end of countless prayers, relentless struggles of separation and imprisonment, love, patience and so on,” wrote Shafin Jahan on his Facebook wall while proudly addressing his wife as “Dr Hadiya Asokan.”

He also uploaded a picture of Hadiya wherein she can be seen sporting a doctor’s coat and a stethoscope. “Finally You reached an important destination out of all odds. Very proud to address you a Doctor,” he commented over his wife completing her Homoeo degree course at a college at Salem in Tamilnadu.

Hadiya had to suspend her studies after her father K M Ashokan a hardline Hindutva activist hailing from Vaikom in Kottayam district in Kerala, moved the state high court in 2017 to annul her marriage to Shafin.

HC had annulled the marriage believing in Ashokan’s blatant lie that his daughter was forcibly converted to Islam and her marriage with Shefin was illegal. He also had claimed that Shefin had links with terror outfits. Ashokan had kept Hadiya under house arrest wherein she was tortured. The Supreme Court later set aside the HC order and allowed Hadiya to live with Shafin.

Hadiya had expressed her wish to complete her studies even at the court. While the case was progressing, Hadiya was allowed to continue her study at a college in Salem. And tight police cover was given to her. According to Hadiya, her husband encouraged her to continue with her studies.

Bengaluru, Mar 2: Killing an Indian porcupine and inviting his TikTok followers to view it proved costly for a 25-year-old man from Kalaburagi. Forest department officials tracked him down and arrested him on Sunday morning.

Manjunath Biryalhissa, a resident of Jewargi taluk, was famous for his various TikTok videos and for lifting heavy stones in his village and neighbouring areas.

According to forest officials, on Friday, Manjunath and his friends caught a porcupine in Sindagi range, Vijayapura and stoned it to death. Later, they fried and cooked it. Manjunath then made an 18-second video, where he spoke about the porcupine hunt and slaughter, besides inviting his followers to like the video and join him in the feast.

The video was on TikTok and Facebook. Wildlife activists who found the video alerted forest department officials.

“Porcupine comes under schedule four of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. Keeping this video as evidence we were able to trace him through his Facebook account, where he had shared details of his hometown,” said forest officials.
