Probe yet to establish ‘Love Jihad’ link in Kakinada family deaths: SP
Kakinada police have stated that the investigation into the deaths of a family in Rajamahendravaram has not yet established a link to 'Love Jihad'. While a suspect has been arrested on charges of extortion and forced religious conversion, officials are continuing to probe the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Why it matters
The case involves sensitive communal allegations, making the police's objective investigation critical for maintaining social order.
Kakinada Superintendent of Police G. Bindhu Madhav has said the investigation into the death of Assistant Engineer Nooka Raju and his family members, who jumped into the Godavari from the road-cum-rail bridge in Rajamahendravaram on August 16, has so far not established any link to the alleged ‘Love Jihad’.
Responding to questions from reporters about the alleged conspiracy involving ‘Love Jihad’ at a press conference here on Monday, Mr. Bindhu Madhav said a case had been registered against Sk. Sadhik Khan on charges including forcing the victim to convert to another religion, murder and extortion.
“We will add charges if the further probe establishes any link to ‘Love Jihad’,” he said.
