Bengaluru, Jul 1: The wife of a senior officer of commercial taxes in Karnataka had to face questions from the sleuths of the National Investigating Agency (NIA) after the love story of a Hindu woman from Gujrat and Muslim man from Kerala culminated in exhibition of communal hatred.

A section of media had called the inter-faith wedding a case of love-jihad, a term used by Indian Christian missionaries and saffron outfits to describe the relationships wherein Hindu and Christian girls marry Muslim boys and follow boy’s faith.

Irshadulla Khan, Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Tax, Kalaburagi, confirmed that a team of officials from NIA recently visited his Bengaluru flat and recorded his wife’s statement before returning with the laptop and mobile phone for analysis.

They recorded the statement to ascertain whether she was in touch with the Gujarati woman, while the latter was studying in Bengaluru in 2014-15.

However, Mr. Khan said that his wife who is an engineer met her once in the city but the victim had not stayed in their house.

“I refute the allegations and I’m ready to cooperate with any kind of investigation,” the government official said.

A police official said that the Gujarati woman and the Kerala man met in 2014-15 when they were studying in Bengaluru. After the woman converted to Islam, the man married her and took her to Jeddah where his parents stayed.

However, later the woman left her husband’s family and returned to Gujarat to her parents’ home. She then lodged a complaint alleging that she was forced to convert to Islam after which she was taken to Jeddah from where they had plans to send her to Syria to fight for Islamic State, a dreaded terror outfits, which normally carries out attacks in Muslim countries tries to destabilize them. The case was handed over to NIA for investigation.

The NIA on January 28, 2018 recorded statements of the woman at their Chennai office, where she gave details of people whom she knew while in Bengaluru in 2014-15. Based on her statements, the sleuths visited Mr. Khan’s house.

Dubai, May 18: An Indian working in a mining company in the UAE has become the latest expatriate to have lost his job for hate-filled social media posts targeting Islam and Muslims.

Brajkishore Gupta was fired without notice for calling Indian Muslims 'coronavirus spreaders' and hailing the Delhi violence as 'divine justice' in his Facebook posts.

Gupta, who is from Chapra, Bihar, was employed by Stevin Rock, a mining company headquartered in Ras Al Khaimah city.

"This isolated incident involving a junior employee was investigated and dealt with immediately resulting in the termination without notice of this person's employment with Stevin Rock," said the company's business development and exploration manager Jean-Francois Milian.

"Our company policy supports the direction of the UAE government in promoting tolerance and equality and strongly renouncing racism and discrimination and we have sent communications to all of our employees irrespective of their religious or ethnic background reminding them that any such behaviour is unacceptable and will lead to immediate dismissal," Milian was quoted as saying in the report.

Three Indians based in the UAE were either fired or suspended from their jobs for "Islamophobic" posts on social media early this month.

On April 20, India's ambassador to the UAE Pavan Kapoor had warned Indian expatriates against such behaviour.

"India and UAE share the value of non-discrimination on any grounds. Discrimination is against our moral fabric and the Rule of law. Indian nationals in the UAE should always remember this," he said in a tweet.

Last month, Sharjah-based businessman Sohan Roy had to apologise for "unintentionally hurting religious sentiments" through his poem, which alluded to a Muslim religious group.

In March, chef Trilok Singh was fired from a restaurant in Dubai for an online threat against a student in Delhi over her views on the Citizenship Amendment Act.
