The Bhiwandi city police have arrested a man for allegedly raping and giving triple talaq to a 27-year-old woman in Bhiwandi on August 24. The accused has been identified as Raju alias Siraj Qureshi, a resident of Bhiwandi. He has been married for 10 years and has four children. According to an FIR lodged by the victim, she married a man from Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh in 2012 under Hindu customs and has a seven-year-old daughter from the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She separated from her husband in 2018, and she and her daughter began living with her elder sister in Bhiwandi. In 2019, she got a friend request from the accused through a social media app in which he identified himself as Raju. Later, both contacted each other through social media. The accused told the woman that he owned a hotel in the Gaibi Nagar area in Bhiwandi and that he was unmarried. He then proposed marriage to her, assuring her that he would take care of both her and her daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He allegedly raped the woman at a lodge in Bhiwandi in 2020. On January 26 that year, he married the woman according to Hindu customs, the police official said, quoting the FIR. A year after their wedding, the victim was shocked when the accused revealed his true identity as Siraj Qureshi and asked the woman to convert to Islam if she wanted to live with him. The woman accepted his demand, and they married again according to Islamic customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In May this year, Qureshi told the woman that he was already married with four children, and would lose his share in his ancestral property if they continued their relationship, said the police official. He then gave her triple talaq. The victim further stated in the FIR that on May 4 this year, the accused beat her when she refused to sign the talaq documents and made her sign them using force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
