Man Files Case Under Anti-Conversion Law Alleging Forced Marriage and Conversion
A young man named Vishal from Uttar Pradesh says that a woman he met at work tricked him.
She took him to another state, Assam, and her family forced him to change his religion to Islam.
They also made him marry her and threatened him.
Vishal managed to escape and go home.
His family tried to tell the police, but they say the police didn't help at first.
So, they went to court, and then the police started a case using a law against forced religious conversion.
The police are now investigating to find out exactly what happened and promise to take action.
