No conclusive evidence about 'Love Jihad': Ker DGP tells HC

Kochi, Nov 11 (PTI) Kerala Police Wednesday told the High
Court that no conclusive evidence had been received about
existence of 'Love Jihad' movement, where young non-Muslim
girls are allegedly trapped into marriage and converted into
Islam.

In a statement filed in the court, Director General of
Police Jacob Punnose said he could not come to "a definite all
conclusive finding" due to divergence in contents of reports
from SPs of different districts and subordinate officers on
the organised work of the 'Love Jihad' in the southern state.
The DGP also submitted 18 reports of SPs in a sealed
cover to the court, complying with its October 26 directive.
The court had expressed dissatisfaction with the DGP's
earlier statement, saying some of his answers were 'vague' and
statements did not 'reconcile' with each other. It had
directed him to produce by Wednesday in a sealed cover the
reports based on which he made his statements on the 'Love
Jihad'.
The DGP, in a statement on Oct 22, had told the court
there were reasons to suspect 'concentrated attempts' to
persuade non-Muslim girls to convert to Islam after they fall
in love with Muslim boys, but no organisation called 'Love
Jihad' had been identified so far in the state. MORE PTI CORR
