A case of raping two girls by hiding their religion has come to light in Khoda and Crossing Republic area of Ghaziabad. It is alleged that to mislead the girls, the accused wore Kalava and Tulsi garland and also worshipped in the temple. There have also been complaints of forcing the victims to abort several times and change their religion. Police have started investigation by registering a case in Khoda and Crossing Republic police station in this matter.
The girl, originally from Bahraich, says that she currently lives in Gautam Buddha Nagar. In 2015, while studying in a college in Lucknow, she met Akshay, a resident of Gonda, through Facebook.
Akshay had told that he was a B.Tech student in a university in Lucknow. He used to wear a bangle and Kalava in his hand and along with applying Tilak on his forehead, he also used to wear Tulsi garland. When their friendship turned into love, they started hanging out together. According to the girl, one day suddenly Akshay proposed marriage to her. As soon as she said yes, he took her to a hotel in Lucknow on the pretext of a party and raped her.
It is alleged that Akshay forced her to abort several times by giving her medicines in cold drinks or food. In 2016, he brought her to Crossing Republic Society. The woman says that when Akshay’s mother and sister came to Ghaziabad in 2018, Akshay told her that his mother’s name was Hemlata and his sister’s name was Kanchan. From their lifestyle and conversation, it was revealed that Akshay’s real name is Faizan, while his mother’s name is Shagufta and his sister’s name is Faiza.
When Faizan told that he had cheated her, her mother and sister pressured her to change her religion. According to the girl, in February 2020, due to Corona, Faizan left her in Bahraich and went to Gonda and brought her back to Ghaziabad in September 2020 to get married. Where he raped her again and forced her to have an abortion. In March 2024, it was revealed from Instagram that Faizan had married another girl. Not only this, Faizan defamed her by making her photos viral with a fake ID. Due to this, the family also broke ties with him. Tired and exhausted, the victim appealed to the Police Commissioner.
