Five students booked in Moradabad for alleged forcing of Burqa on Hindu girl

Moradabad, Jan 24 (UNI) Police have registered a case against five Muslim schoolgirls after a Hindu Class 12 student alleged that she was forced to wear a burqa and pressured to convert to Islam in Moradabad’s Bilari area.
According to the complaint filed by the victim’s brother, all six girls study in the same school in Class 12, and attend the same tuition classes. The incident reportedly took place in Shahkunj Colony, Bilari, and was captured on a CCTV camera installed in a lane, police disclosed on Saturday.
The one minute and 10 second CCTV footage allegedly shows five girls wearing burqas, stopping the Hindu student on the street and making her wear a burqa.
