Chhattisgarh, January 13: Chhattisgarh police have booked a Muslim woman and her family members for forcefully circumcising her minor son against wishes of the Hindu husband. On January 12, 2022, the police registered an FIR against 3 accused including the woman under non-bailable sections in connection with the case in Sanna, Jashpur district, Chhattisgarh.
Jashpur Additional SP Pratibha Pandey informed that a Hindu youth has complained that his Muslim wife forcibly circumcised their son and changed his name to a Muslim name.
BJP leader, Prabal Pratap Singh Judev, has recently made a statement about the incident. He has said that it is unbearable to circumcise and convert a son without approval of the Hindu father. The administration should arrest all workers involved, and stop conversions.
According to the reports, the father of the victim, Chittaranjan Sonwani, is a resident of Nagartoli village, coming under police station Sanna of Jashpur, Chhattisgarh. 10 years ago, he married Reshma, daughter of Mehandi Ansari, a girl from Muslim society, with Hindu customs. The couple has an 8-YO son and a 6-YO daughter. The family lived according to Hindu customs. On November 21, the son went to his maternal grandmother’s house with his mother. Chittaranjan alleged that his in-laws took the child from Harradipa to Asta and then took him to Ambikapur to circumcise him. Moreover, the boy was given a Muslim name.
