New Delhi, Sep 13 || Bulldozer operations have started at the homes of the accused in a high-profile ‘love jihad’ and sexual exploitation case in Bhopal. The move targets the residences of Sahil and Saad (often referred to as Shamsuddin alias Saad) amid heavy police deployment.
The accused, Farhan, Sahil, Saad, and others, stand charged in a case involving alleged sexual assault, blackmail, and forced religious conversion of Hindu students at a private engineering college. Victims claim that some accused posed as Hindus, recorded obscene videos, and used them for extortion. The episode has drawn considerable public and legal scrutiny.
SDM Ravish Srivastava said, “We had received complaints regarding three individuals. The actions against two of them are now being processed by our team. The work is almost complete.”
One prominent site of action is Club‑90, a restaurant alleged to have been used in the exploitation. The facility (or portions of it), particularly areas claimed to be illegally constructed, has come under demolition by bulldozers. In addition, the city’s municipal authorities have reportedly cancelled the lease of the premises.
