Lucknow News: The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (UP ATS) has arrested three people for allegedly using an online gaming app for forced conversions. Police said the three accused, Nazim Hasan, Sadiq and Azhar Malik, were arrested on Monday.
This is the second case in the state where online gaming acted as a decoy to entice a target to attempt a conversion.
Last month, a minor was allegedly converted to religion in Ghaziabad after being lured through gaming.
ATS Additional Director General Naveen Arora said accused Nazim Hasan allegedly got Gaurav, son of his client Somdutt, converted.
“Nazim used to give some medicines to Somdutt while visiting their house and came in contact with his son Gaurav, who had passed class 12 and was busy looking for a part-time job,” Arora said.
Taking advantage of his desperation for the job, ATS officials said, Nazim asked him to play a game of ‘carrom’ online.
“He was asked to play online with an unknown person and initially lostLater, he was asked to ‘call the name of Allah’ and recite some verses from the Quran and this time he won. Later, Nazim brainwashes her by saying that it was Allah’s will.
This continued for a month when a woman claiming to be from an online firm called Gaurav and offered him a job in Bengaluru based on his performance in an online game. ATS officials said Gaurav’s trip to Bengaluru was sponsored by Nazim’s associates Sadiq and Azhar Malik.
