Mr. Ahmad describes the allegations as “totally false”.
He said he was more concerned about building a career first before thinking of marriage.
“The government should see why are they are falsely implicating me. Maybe because I am a Muslim?” asked he. “Why has not a single case come up where the boy is Hindu and the girl is Muslim?” he further asked, referring to the dozen cases lodged under the new ordinance so far.
A case under kidnapping was lodged against Mr. Ahmad in October 2019 after the girl’s family accused him of eloping with her. However, she was soon recovered by police and the matter was resolved through a court settlement. In her statement, she had said that she had run away from her home alone and on her own will, said Mr. Ahmad, adding that he was at home when she ran away due to “some pressure” at home.
