The teenager told that after his mother’s death, his father married a Muslim woman for the second time. After this, Muslim people started coming to his house. The teenager said that his stepmother got his father killed for property and threw him out of the house.

A case of converting a teenager by circumcising him has come to light in Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh. He was made to work in a hotel and was constantly tortured. He was kept hostage and was not even given food. The teenager says that after his mother’s death, his father married a Muslim for the second time, but that woman got his father killed and then threw him out of the house.

In this case, Vishwa Hindu Parishad workers have lodged an FIR in the police station. The 14-year-old boy has been sent to the juvenile correction home for now. The boy is originally from Azamgarh. District convener of Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Barabanki, Vinay Singh Rajput, says that he was standing near the Hind Medical Store near Palhari intersection. A boy came there and first told his name as Noor Mohammad, then told his Hindu name.

After this, Vinay Singh got suspicious and talked to him in detail. The boy told that he is from Atraulia in Azamgarh. He belongs to the Dalit community. He told that after his mother’s death, his father married a Muslim woman. After this, Muslim people started coming to his house. The boy said that his stepmother got his father killed for property and threw him out of the house.

During this time, he came in contact with Riyasat, who works as a scrap dealer, and his son Murshid. Both of them kept him with them for several months and made him work for free. After this, in the name of getting him a job, Murshid brought him to Barabanki and got him a job in a restaurant. The name of this restaurant is Afifa Restaurant. Here he was made to work and was not even given proper food.

The teenager told that one day the owner of Afifa Restaurant asked him about his family. The boy told that he did not have a family. After this, the owner of the hotel took him to the hospital by luring him with his words and got him circumcised there. After returning to the restaurant, his owner said, “Now you have become a Muslim and your name has become Noor Mohammad.” After this, the owner of the restaurant started forcing him to read Namaaz.

On the basis of the complaint, the police have registered a case against Murshid, his father Riyasat Ali and the owner of Afifa Restaurant for religious conversion, SC-ST Act and physical exploitation. The Barabanki police presented the child in the Juvenile Justice Board Azamgarh and got his statement recorded. The teenager has told the Justice Board about this in a systematic manner. The board has got him counseled.
