We Legally Intervened In A Case Of Child Abuse In Kanpur

A woman, her parents and a maulana in Kanpur allegedly brainwashed a minor boy to convert and marry her.

Simran, daughter of Mohd Haneef and Jameela Bano, coerced Nikhil Singh (16) to marry her, as per a complaint given by Nikhil’s parents to the police. She is a divorcee and has two kids from a previous marriage. Reportedly, she lured the boy, and her family groomed him for a year before the conversion.

Sewa Nyaya Uththan Foundation (SNUF) filed a complaint with the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) for Nikhil. The Commission took prompt action and brought Nikhil home after police arrested Simran, her parents and the cleric who led the Nikah.

Nikhil’s story reminds us that young Hindu boys are just as vulnerable to these vile traps as Hindu girls.
