Two men hire Delhi woman to frame Muslim businessman in ‘love jihad’ case in UP’s Kasganj

AGRA: A 24-year-old Delhi-based Hindu woman has accused two people — one of them the “district vice-president of the BJP youth wing”, according to his Facebook profile — of “hiring” her to frame a 27-year-old Muslim businessman in a rape and ‘love jihad’ case in UP’s Kasganj.

The woman, Radha (who only uses her first name), had earlier accused the man, Prince Qureshi, of having presented himself as ‘Monu Gupta’, who “promised to marry her” but later “raped her”. Following her complaint, Qureshi was booked under IPC sections 376 (rape), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), and 506 (criminal intimidation) on July 16.

However, the two men, Aman Chauhan, 34, and Akash Solanki, 28, had “hired her” to say this, Radha said while recording her statement in the case before a magistrate under CrPC section 164.
