flag Indian state official claims 5,000 children rescued in crackdown on alleged 'love jihad' cases, citing one recent abduction.

flag Odisha BJP leader Peeyush Mohanty said the government has rescued 5,000 children nationwide in cases tied to alleged "love jihad," a term referring to claims of coercive religious conversions through romantic relationships. flag He cited a recent arrest in Puri of a man using the alias Jairam, identified as Irfan, who allegedly abducted a girl and took her to Kerala. flag Mohanty emphasized strong police action against such incidents, echoing earlier claims by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay that over 500,000 girls are allegedly affected annually through organized religious conversions. flag These allegations remain unverified and are widely disputed, with critics warning they fuel communal tensions and threaten personal freedoms.
