love-jihad

KOCHI: Police have filed a case against a Travel agency owner for sexually exploiting a woman in Moovattupuzha, pretending love after which he tried to convert her to his religion.

The case has been filed on the basis of the complaint given by the 24-year-old Christian woman, who is a resident of Kanjaar. According the complaint, the woman had reached the Tour agency to work there. For about one and a half year, the agency owner posed as her lover and prompted her to travel with him to Goa, Mysore and Vagamon. He sexually abused her in resorts in these places after which he attempted to convert her to his religion.

Following this incident, the woman left her job. Soon the owner reached the woman’s house and started threatening her. As the woman was afraid to go to Moovattupzha and file the complaint, she filed the complaint in Kanjaar police station.

The case was later transferred to Moovattupuzha police. When they were in good terms, the accused also offered financial help to her and some oversees job to her sister.

However, the main demand of the accused was that the woman, a Christian believer, covert to his religion. Following the registration of the case on February 18, the accused is known to have fled to Bangalore. Even while the police are facing criticism for delay in the arrest, a police team has gone there in search of him.
