Members of the Hindu Jagran March beat up a Muslim man and then forced his girlfriend to slap him with slippers. A shopkeeper noticed them standing under a tree in a market and then gathered about 11 men to beat him up for being with a Hindu girl accusing him of forced conversion. The men later dragged the man to the police station to get him booked for forced conversion. They also made the mother of the best friend of the woman file a complaint for the same. However the complaint was revealed to be fake and filed under pressure. The woman said that she was with the man on her own will.
