Wife of government officer Irshad Ullah Khan, Deputy Commissioner, Commercial Taxes, Kalburgi is being investigated for his involvement in a Love - Jihad case involving a Gujarat based Hindu woman and a Kerala based Muslim man. National Investigation Agency (NIA) officers knocked on the officer's house in Jeevan Bima Nagar, Bengaluru on June 6 for a formal inquiry suspecting the involvement of the officer's wife in the case.
The couple had fallen in love during their studies in the year 2014-15. The duo were studying in the same college in Bengaluru as reported by Deccan Herald. A police official who preferred to be anonymous told Deccan Herald that the girl was converted and flown to Jeddah where the boy's parents were living. He added that she left the family since she could not cope with cultural differences and returned to live with her parents in Gujarat.
A private complaint has been filed in Kerala High Court alleging that the girl was forced to convert to Islam and taken to Jeddah. The complaint also alleges that a plan was being hatched to send her to Syria to fight for ISIS. The details of the victim's stay in Khan's family at Bengaluru came to light while recording her statement by NIA officers.
The phone and laptop of Irshad Khan's wife has been taken by NIA for investigation. Irshad Ullah Khan told Deccan Herald that he and his wife would cooperate with NIA in the investigation.
