The arrest comes after the claims that the racket involved targeting minor girls for religious conversion
Abu Talib, a resident of Jamia Nagar locality in the Khala Par area of Muzaffarnagar, has been arrested in connection with a large-scale religious conversion racket busted by Uttar Pradesh Police.
The arrest comes after the Agra Police took action under directives from state authorities, claiming the racket involved targeting minor girls for religious conversion through inducement and coercion.
Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Krishna revealed the operation in a press conference held in Lucknow. He stated that the gang was active across six states, and so far, ten accused have been arrested and sent to jail. Abu Talib is among those arrested.
However, Talib's family has strongly denied the allegations, claiming he is innocent and has no links to any conversion network.
Talib's mother, Zayda, said, "My son is innocent. He works as a tailor and does labour jobs to support our family. We live in a rented house. He has two brothers and a sister, Talib is the youngest. His elder brother works separately, making sweets."
