Kerala Human Rights Commission orders probe into religion conversion
It was learnt that Aparna was at Sathya Sarani Charitable Trust in Manjeri.
Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has ordered a probe into the allegation that an aeronautical engineering student was forcibly converted to Islam. Mini Vijayan, who works at the Pangode military camp here, had lodged a petition with the commission expressing fears that her daughter may also become a victim of the recruiting cadres of terror outfits.
Considering the petition, commission chairperson justice J.B. Koshy ordered the state police chief to conduct a detailed probe into the matter and submit a report on August 29.
According to the petitioner, her daughter Aparna Vijayan, 21, who was studying in the Jewel Education Trust in Ernakulam, went missing from her hostel 15 days ahead of her marriage that was fixed for April 11. A police probe located her at a mosque in Kozhikode.
Though Mini filed habeas corpus petitions, Aparna preferred to go with one Summayya. It was learnt that Aparna was at Sathya Sarani Charitable Trust in Manjeri. Mini also said that she had deposited Rs 75,000 in another person’s account a week ahead of Aparna's missing. The amount was credited as per Aparna's request.
