*Meerut:* Days after a 20-year-old in Meerut alleged gangrape and forced
conversion, the police claim that there are discrepancies in her
allegations. Police sources and the medical report indicate that the
alleged victim had undergone a surgery to abort a complicated pregnancy.

Police say that the incision marks on the alleged victim's stomach show
that the operation was performed by a trained doctor, who is being traced.
Questions are also being raised by the police on the forced conversion
claims.

Police claim an affidavit shows that she willingly converted to Islam.
However, the victim has said she was forced to sign the affidavit.
The victim had said that she was abducted on July 23, taken to Hapur where
she was gangraped and forced to convert to Islam.

The 20-year-old is the sole bread earner of her family of six people. She
is now at a Meerut hospital. The Ministry of Home Affairs has also sought a
report in this matter from the state government.

The victim had said that she was abducted on July 23 and taken to Hapur
where she was gangraped. She said that she was later shifted to
Muzaffarnagar from where she managed to escape. She said, "I was first
taken to a Madrasa in Hapur and later moved to Muzaffarnagar. There were
many other girls there but I couldn't meet them."

Victim's uncle also highlighted the delay in the filing of the FIR in the
case. He said, "We only got to know when she called and told us on August
3. We went to file an FIR but they refused. After intervention from various
organisations the FIR was filed."

Twist in Meerut tale: Woman had surgery for ectopic pregnancy, says state
DGP

The medical examination of the 20-year-old former madrasa teacher, who has
alleged that she was abducted, gangraped and forcibly converted to Islam,
has found that she had been operated for ectopic pregnancy -- a complication
arising out of the foetus growing outside the uterus -- last month,
according to the police.

The woman, who was a part-time teacher at a madrasa in Sarawa village of
Meerut's Kharkhoda police station area, had alleged that she was operated
in a Muzaffarnagar hospital on July 23. She had marks of stitches on her
stomach.

DGP A L Banerjee said the medical examination found that a surgery was
performed on the girl for ectopic pregnancy. "The girl's statement under
CrPC 164 has been recorded before a magistrate and police will probe the
case on the basis of that statement," Banerjee told The Indian Express.

In Lucknow, secretary (home) Kamal Saksena and IG (Law and Order) Amrendra
Sengar, said the medical examination has not stated anything about sexual
assault.

DIG, Meerut Range, K Satyanarayan also confirmed the medical examination's
finding but said that no organs of her body have been found missing.

The DIG also said that police have found an affidavit about the woman's
religious conversion, which was performed by a maulvi from Hapur. The woman
has alleged that she was forced to sign the affidavit, dated July 30. "We
have taken the maulvi, who performed the conversion, into custody. He says
the woman got converted voluntarily," Satyanarayan said, adding that they
were further probing the allegation.

According to police, the woman's allegation that other Hindu women were
also abducted and kept at a madrasa in Muzaffarnagar has not been found
true. "Police visited the madarasa in Muzaffarnagar but no Hindu women were
found there. Police are investigating it but her allegation about others
being kept captive at madrasa has not been found true," the DIG said.

Muzaffarnagar SSP HN Singh also said the police did not find any Hindu
women in the madarasa.

Police have already arrested three persons -- Sarawa village pradhan Nawab;
Samar, the wife of main accused Sataullah; and Nishat, the woman's friend,
who allegedly got the complainant in touch with the main accused.
