Ballia (UP), July 21 (IANS) In what could be a case of love jihad, a 24-year-old Muslim man has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman after having an affair with her by claiming himself to be a Hindu.
The man was arrested on Tuesday after the woman, 22, lodged a complaint with the police.
She alleged that the man had threatened to kill her after she began avoiding him when she learnt of his true identity.
Senior Sub-Inspector of Ballia city Kotwali, Om Prakash Pandey, said, "A case has been registered against the accused on Tuesday under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code and he has been arrested."
At about 9.28 a.m. the 44.4 metre tall, weighing 320 ton rocket blasted off from the second launch pad at the country's rocket port here. The launch was normal despite a clouded sky.
"Indira Gandhi's assassination left the country in a shock. Since she was killed by Sikh policemen, the whole Sikh community was portrayed as murderers by a particular community due to which riots broke across the country.
"This police constable should be the ultimate role model for the police. Look at the deep sense of sensitivity and empathy with which he listens to and wipes the tears of this elderly citizen"
A court here awarded life imprisonment to 16 men after finding them guilty of murdering a woman and her son in Haryana’s Hisar district over five years ago.
