How do they trick Hindus ? 

It has come to light how Brijpal, a teacher in Subhash Nagar was tricked. In the year 2014 he met with an accident and his financial condition went down. At that time Salman and Arif helped him financially and converted him and his family.

There were pictures of beautiful young girls on the mobiles of this gang, which were used to entice Hindu youths. Majeed was finding various ways to trick Hindus into conversion. Hindus who were converting had to go through ‘sunta’. He would target disabled and scheduled caste Hindus. He had contacts in more than 27 districts in the country. Rs 13 lakh were found in his bank account, and he also has 21 different accounts.

This gang had created several WhatsApp groups. These groups would watch videos of Zakir Naik, a source of inspiration to terrorists and audios of Pakistani religious scholars. Salman would provide religious books and Arif helped, Fahim would gather the information about people and pass it to the gang. The Police suspect this gang of receiving foreign funds. Currently search for the remaining members of the gang is ongoing.

Editorial Perspectives

• It is well known that most of these madarasas are involved in anti-Hindu and anti-national activities, why are these madarasas not closed down ?

• UP government must take steps to teach a stern lesson to those who convert Hindus, so that these religious fanatics do not dare to indulge in such activities.
