Uttar Pradesh police have sounded an alert in several districts of western parts of the state following communal clashes in Meerut over an alleged attempt of converting a female teacher.
Tension gripped the Kharkhauda area of Meerut district on Sunday evening when an angry mob came out on the road in protest against the alleged conversion attempt. The mob also alleged gangrape of the teacher.
“An alert has been sounded in Meerut and other adjoining districts after the incident. We have deployed additional forces in the Kharkhauda police station area,” director general of police (DFP) AL Banerjee told media here in Lucknow.
Police said that the incident took place inside a madarsa in Sarawa village where the teacher worked. The 20-year-old teacher was reportedly compelled to adopt the religion of a community in a madarsa and then taken to Muzaffarnagar and kept in confinement in a house there for three days. She, however, managed to escape from the clutches of the abductors, reached her home in Kharkhauda and narrated the entire ordeal tale to her family.
“She has also alleged that she was gangraped during the confinement,” police said.
Meanwhile police was quick to lodge a case against the madarsa cleric, village pradhan and two others for allegedly plotting the conversion plan.
“Village pradhan Nawab Khan and cleric Sannaullah have been arrested based on the complaint of the girl. An FIR has been filed against four persons including these two,” police said.
"The gangrape allegation could be ascertained only after medical examination of the girl," police added.
