Vadodara Police book one for issuing death threats to Hindu girl to force marriage

Vadodara: Vadi police here in the city have filed a case against one Juned Vaghela for issuing death threats to a Hindu woman if she married someone other than him.

The Hindu woman, who currently resides in the Vadi area and works at a visa consultancy office, had previously worked at a hospital in the city in 2021, where the accused, Juned Vaghela, also worked in the medical department. During that time, they became friends. However, the woman left her job after a month and became engaged to another man.

Approximately three months ago, Juned a Muslim by faith, contacted the woman’s mother and warned that he would take any action necessary if the woman did not marry him. He even issued death threats. On June 14th at 11:30 am, the woman received a call from Juned, who questioned why she had not been speaking to him. The woman explained that she was engaged to someone else and had no intention of conversing with Juned. In response, Juned verbally abused her and threatened to harm her if she married another man. As a result, the police have booked Juned Vaghela, who resides in Gorwa, under IPC 294 (B) and 506 (2). DeshGujarat
