Anti Terrorist Squad(ATS) has detailed Masum Kalu Mahida, a married Muslim man in early 40s who eloped with a Hindu girl in early 20s from Nadiad town in central Gujarat. Masum and girl Trusha eloped on 11 June. Entire Nadiad town had observed bandh seeking action against Masum Kalu Mahida. Later video of “victim” girl surfaced on social media in which she said she was married with Masum and had left home as per her own wish. Locals however argued that the girl could have said this in video under force. Legally speaking, the girl is adult and she is free to make her own decisions while Mahida is Muslim he can wed more than one woman. In this matter, girl’s statement will decide Mahida’s future. According to locals Mahida is into illegal liquor business and he may face police action in that direction too.
Update:
Mahida has been involved in several prohibition related offenses in the past. He had been jailed under PASA also in the past. He was also caught with illegal possession of weapon. He will be handed over to Nadiad(West) police. It is learnt that Mahida had fled with Nadiad girl and taken her to Udaipur in Rajasthan where she was converted to Islam. Mahida married the girl in Udaipur. However witnesses who have signed the document for Mahida’s Nikah were physically not present in Udaipur.
