Crime / Father of four wears wig to hide age, lures and rapes minor in Meerut

Meerut: In a shocking case of ‘love jihad’ in Uttar Pradesh, police have arrested a 42-year-old man named Abdullah, who has been accused of kidnapping and raping a minor girl in Meerut.

As per an IANS report, Abdullah, who allegedly has three wives and four children, lured a minor girl by hiding his identity and changing his name. Notably, he had created a fake Facebook ID as ‘Aman Chaudhary’ and posted his photographs wearing a wig, to look younger.

The case was uncovered when the minor girl’s family lodged a complaint with the police after she went missing on September 3.

यह है अब्दुल्ला। 4 बीवियां हैं और 4 ही बच्चे। फिर भी अमन चौधरी बनकर दूसरे सम्प्रदाय की 17 साल की लड़की को प्रेमजाल में फंसाया। उसके साथ बलात्कार किया। पुलिस ने आरोपी को पकड़ा तो एक और खुलासा हुआ। सिर पर लगे बाल भी नकली मिले। उप्र में जिला मेरठ की घटना। #Meerut #Up pic.twitter.com/dCJfcuU8eG
