In a series of incidents happening in the state of Maharashtra, another shocking case of Love Jihad has come to the fore from the Shirdi region of Ahilynagar district.

Newsbharati has exclusively obtained the FIR copy of the said case. As per the complaint, the accused initially trapped the girl into a love affair and then convinced her to marry. The duo got their relationship registered on March 9, 2026, in the Sambhajinagar district of Maharashtra.
The girl in the complaint said that the accused initially made her feel comfortable post marriage, but after three months, he began to force her to eat beef. "We shifted to a small rented room in Shirdi after marriage, where he began to beat me for applying Kumkum and also forced me to eat beef. He also said that since I was married to a Muslim now, I should wear a burqa and convert my religion to Islam," the 24-year-old girl said in the complaint. (love jihad shirdi)
In addition to forcing the woman to convert to Islam, the accused also conveyed to the girl that the reason behind marrying her was 'Gajwa-e-Hind'. "He told me that in Islam, marrying four women was a ritual and allowed. He also said that he married me not because he loved me, but because his intention was Gajwa-e-Hind," she added.
"Ghazwa-e-Hind" is described as a radical Islamic concept referring to a prophesied, final battle in India, aimed at conquering the sub-continent and establishing an Islamic state. It showcases the malicious intention of Islamists to make India an Islamic country by 2047, when India would complete 100 years of independence. (love jihad shirdi)
After constant threats, the woman attempted to make calls at home, but the accused snatched away her phone and threatened her to keep her mouth shut. He threatened her, saying that if she opened her mouth, he would kill her parents and her brother.
The woman then somehow managed to call the police to seek help. After the police interference, the woman managed to leave the spot and live with her parents. However, the accused frequently called the woman's mother and continued issuing threats.
The victim woman then officially lodged a police complaint on April 29th in Ahilyanagar.
It is important to note that several such cases have recently emerged in the state of Maharashtra, raising concerns regarding women's safety. Recently, a case of sexual assault on a minor girl came to light from the Kaij taluka in Maharashtra's Beed district. The accused trapped and cornered the minor girl, called her to his home, established physical relations with her by force, threatened to make a video viral, and also threatened to kill her mother, father, and brother.
