Is it Raghunath Lohar’s crime to love and marry Manohara Khatun?

Muslim family intimidating Hindus flouting legal system in Malda

Secret agenda of Love Jehad, intensifying in India by leaps and bounds, is to authenticate a single notion – Muslim boys can marry or seize Hindu girls by feigning love and converting them to Islam forcibly. What’s if the reverse happens? It earns a brutal Islamic wrath, potent enough to ruin the entire Hindu family and all these are happening to the family of Raghunath Lohar, inhabitant of village Ratul RaiPara in Shalaidanga, P.S. Gajol, District: Malda, Bengal. The only crime of Raghunath, age 21 years, is to love Manohara Khatun, age 17 years and student of Class X, of same village and elope on 01/07/11 witnessing Muslim family’s stubborn hindrance against their marriage.

On 01/07/11 Raghunath Lohar and Manohara Khatun fled from the village and went to Lucknow, capital city of the state of Uttar Pradesh inIndia. Following the elopement, girl’s family started to threat Raghunath’s family almost everywhere. The hapless Hindu family, in spite of having a good Hindu presence in the vicinity, couldn’t have any strong assistance.

On 07/07/11, various members of Manohara Khatun’s family, including her father Habibur Ansari and a local Panchayat member named Jamshed Ali, attacked Raghunath’s family residence at night. The vandalism went on for hours and Nibaran Lohar, Raghunath’s father, was heavily thrashed. Not a single member of his family remained unscathed.

Though not physical but verbal threats were certainly given to the Hindu family’s members either in thoroughfares or markets during next two days (8 and 9 th July). Incidentally, Raghunath and Manohara took refuge in a place in Lucknow, already inhabited by a few boys, engaged in different jobs in U.P., from Ratul RaiPara.

One of them, a Muslim boy, instrumental in helping Raghunath andManohara to escape, returned to Ratul RaiPara on 09/07/11. Finding his approaches shady, Habibur Ansari questioned him thoroughly. Witnessing his hesitations while answering, he was thrashed a great deal and truth came to the fore accordingly.

Once reality was found, pressures were exerted on Raghunath’s family to bring the couple back. Owing to this, the Hindu family finally decided to do the same and Raghunath’s uncle with the aforementioned Muslim boy went to Lucknow to bring the couple back.

Raghunath Lohar and Manohara Khatun returned to the village on 11/07/11in the night and were handed over to the police on 12/07/11. Realizing gravity of the situation police took Manohara’s statement without delay and adopted all measures to ensure safety of the two. It has been learnt, Manohara (in her statement) stated plainly that she was not willing to remain in the Islamic society anymore, was in love with Raghunath who never pressurized her on any pretext ever. She also expressed with conviction her desire to remain within the Hindu society.

Raghunath and Manohara were transferred to Malda court for more security and before judge in the court Manohara reiterated the same statement.

Raghunath Lohar and Manohara Khatun, under court’s jurisdiction, are in jail at the moment but Manohara’s family is flexing muscles still. The Hindu family remains terrified.
