Shillong, May 16: The Madhya Pradesh Police anti-terrorist squad (ATS) busted the first Indian chapter of the extreme Islamic group Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) on May 9, and reports claim that the module’s focus is on religious conversion.
Five suspects were married to Hindu women, and two of them had recently converted to Islam.
Yasir Khan, a gym instructor from Bhopal, and Mohd Salim, a resident of Hyderabad and the son of retired ayurvedic physician Dr. Ashok Jain from Bhopal, were the two main suspects in the busted module, according to ATS sources.
Mohd Salim is a senior member of staff at the pharmacy faculty of a college in Hyderabad that is allegedly run by the family of a politician.
Five of the accused, including Mohd Salim (formerly Saurabh Raj Vaidya), Abdur Rehman (previously Devi Narayan Panda), and Mohd Abbas Ali (previously Benu Kumar), according to ATS officials, converted from Hinduism to Islam.
In the early 2000s, when Mohd Salim was working as a professor at a private college in Bhopal, his parents claimed that Dr. Kamal, a senior colleague of their son, brainwashed him and changed him into “Salim.”
“Out of our five children, he is the only son we have. Only Dr. Kamal was responsible for brainwashing our kid into converting to Islam, and Dr. Zakir Naik’s controversial videos also had a role”, according to the boy’s father.
