LUCKNOW: As many as 11 people were booked for forcing a girl to embrace Islam in Rae Bareli on Sunday. Police said when the girl resisted, she and her mother were thrashed. The girl and her mother are recuperating in the district hospital while police have formed teams to nab the accused.

Kotwali SHO RK Singh said that the girl’s mother alleged in her complaint that her neighbour, whose real name was Rizwan, concealed his identity and eloped with her 20-year-old daughter on August 10.”Rizwan forcibly got my daughter converted and married her,” she alleged.
The SHO added that as the girl is an adult, her statements will be recorded before a magistrate soon.

“Based on this, further action will be taken,” he said.
