UP ‘Love Jihad' Gang's ‘Working-Style': Non-Muslim Woman Married, Divorced, Then ‘Kept By'...
Last Updated: The police rescued the Dalit girl from Rohtak from Abdul Rehman's house. She told police she was introduced to Islam, given financial help and a place to stay. The layers of the illegal conversion gang operating in Agra are in the headlines once again. In a recent case, Agra police have arrested Abdullah, Abdul Rahim and Junaid, the sons of Abdul Rehman, the alleged mastermind. This gang forcibly married a Dalit girl from Rohtak after converting her. Investigators believe this gang has ruined the lives of many girls. The question remains: how were these girls trapped? According to police, Abdul Rehman's entire family is part of the conversion racket. After Abdul Rehman's arrest, a video of his wife discussing how to bring girls for conversion surfaced online. When police raided their house again, she was missing and is still on the run. The Case of SB Krishna During interrogation, SB Krishna, a resident of Goa, revealed that she had converted to Islam and was given the name Ayesha. She was a student at Punjab University when some Kashmiri students allegedly trapped her. She was taken to Kashmir by a student named Shaba. Her family even filed a kidnapping case in Delhi. The police rescued the Dalit girl from Rohtak from Abdul Rehman's house. She told police she was introduced to Islam, given financial help and a place to stay. Later, she was deceived. Junaid, who befriended her, was already married but still kept her with him and later divorced her. After that, Abdul Rehman kept her in his house. Gang's Method of Trapping Victims Police investigations revealed a planned method: – Members spread across colleges and universities targeted women, especially students. They approached them personally and via social media, glorifying Islam and promising equality and a path to heaven. – Once convinced, women were given money, food and accommodation. They were promised job support and community help. The gang also prepared fake documents for conversion and marriage. The case highlights how the gang systematically exploited vulnerable women using financial and emotional manipulation. Police are now tracing more suspects, including Abdul Rehman's wife and other network members operating across states. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 14:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Some worked whereas some may need few more films to prove their mettle. Here are the names that have arrived already: STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Ahaan Panday Saiyaara is a monstrous blockbuster and perhaps the most successful debut since Hrithik Roshan in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Ahan Panday's sincerity only begins to show post the interval when his outbursts and outrageous behaviour are sanitised and his character becomes a lot more restrained. Even the couple's togetherness feels more earned. Anyway, a star is born! Aneet Padda This Mohit Suri musical feels like a relaunch. Well, if reports are to be believed, she was rejected and her audition was called 'disastrously bad.' It was Ahaan Panday who stepped in and that's how her second chance became an opportunity of a lifetime. Aneet has acted in Aamir Khan and Kajol's 2022 film Salaam Venky that also starred Vishal Jethwa. She was seen in last year's web-show Big Girls Don't Cry. Ibrahim Ali Khan Saif Ali Khan's son made his acting debut with Netflix and Dharma Productions' Nadaaniyan that didn't get the response the makers expected. The blue-eyed boy now gears up for Sarzameen with Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran, another streaming release.

Govt plans to establish Rs3bn aquaculture park in Karachi
Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art aquaculture park at Korangi Fish Harbour in Karachi, at an estimated cost of Rs3 billion. The minister made this announcement presiding a high-level meeting on the development of blue economy. The meeting was attended by Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) Chairman Noorul Haq Baloch, representatives from Korangi Fish Harbour Authority (KoFHA), the Marine Fisheries Department (MFD), and the Balochistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The 120-acre aquaculture park is estimated to produce 360 to 1,200 tons of seafood annually, depending on the species cultivated and the farming system employed. Its annual revenue is projected to be between $720,000 and $7.2 million, influenced by species selection, market prices, and production intensity, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs said in a press release. The World Bank defines the blue economy as the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and job creation, while ensuring the health of the ocean ecosystem. Minister Junaid said the project, covering 120 acres, should be developed under a public-private partnership framework, aiming to boost the country's blue economy through sustainable aquaculture. The meeting was informed that the land cost for the aquaculture park has been set according to an extensive farming model, offering an affordable and efficient foundation for private investors. Starting fish farming scheme in Sindh with World Bank support: Najmi Alam Experts informed the meeting that Pakistan's coastal waters possess highly conducive conditions for aquaculture, providing an ideal environment for farming a variety of marine species. To accelerate the process, the federal minister directed the KoFHA to submit a comprehensive execution report within 10 days. Emphasising replication of success, he proposed extending the aquaculture model to Balochistan, leveraging its vast coastal belt for sustainable marine farming. While, in a move aimed at enhancing coordination, Junaid ordered the relocation of Marine Fisheries Department sub office to the premises of the Gwadar Port Authority. This administrative shift is expected to streamline inter-agency collaboration and expedite decision-making in blue economy initiatives. In a separate meeting, the federal minister also reviewed the progress on the land allotment and lease policy of the Port Qasim Authority (PQA). Officials informed him that the Survey of Pakistan has been engaged to identify and demarcate PQA-owned land. Furthermore, it was conveyed that the revision of PQA's master plan is being aligned with the broader feasibility study for the National Ports Master Plan, currently underway. Minister Junaid reiterated the government's commitment to promoting sustainable marine development, asserting that investments in aquaculture and port infrastructure are essential for ensuring food security, increasing exports, and generating employment across coastal regions. The series of meetings held by the maritime minister mark a significant step in the government's broader maritime development strategy, focused on harnessing the full potential of Pakistan's coastal resources through innovation, institutional cooperation, and private sector engagement.

Aamir Khan attributes son Junaid's grounded mindset to his upbringing: ‘Woh train se jaata hai, gaadi ki zaroorat mehsoos hi nahi karta'
Aamir Khan and his son Junaid share a special bond, expressing a sense of mutual respect and deep admiration for each other's behaviour and work ethic. In a recent episode of The New Indian podcast, the Sitaare Zameen Par actor revealed that his son Junaid, despite having completed two films, has never bought a car and continues to rely on public transportation. Sharing his admiration for Junaid's simplicity, Aamir said, 'Woh train se jaata hai, Ola book karta hai, gaadi ki zaroorat mehsoos hi nahi karta.' He even recounted how Junaid took a state transport bus to attend a wedding in Bengaluru instead of flying. 'He's a different kind of person,' he added. The 3 Idiots star also attributed this grounded mindset to Junaid's upbringing by him, as well as his former partners Kiran Rao and Reena Dutta, emphasising that none of them are materialistic by nature. 'Jaise aapke parents hote hain, waise hi aap hote ho,' he said, describing all three of his children as 'sensitive and well-behaved.' In an age where celebrity kids are often seen surrounded by luxury, Junaid's humble choices have surprised and impressed fans. Muskan Marwah, psychologist at Mpower, Aditya Birla Education Trust, explained that children are naturally observant and learn by watching the behaviours of the adults around them, especially their parents. 'While verbal guidance is important, children tend to absorb more from actions than words. Parents who model positive behaviours, such as kindness, honesty, and perseverance, have a lasting impact on their child's character. These actions help children understand expectations and internalise these values as part of their own identity,' she said. Marwah linked this concept to Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning, which suggests that children learn not only from actions but also from emotional responses and attitudes they observe. Parents shape their child's emotional and moral development simply by how they live their daily lives. By demonstrating patience, respect, and responsibility, parents provide a living example of these values. When it comes to children born into privileged families, Sonal Khangarot, a licensed rehabilitation counselor and psychotherapist at The Answer Room, shared that such kids benefit from engaging in everyday tasks, such as using public transportation or doing household chores. These experiences build resilience, self-reliance, and problem-solving skills. They also foster empathy, reduce entitlement, and prepare children to face real-life challenges with confidence. 'Just knowing they can handle basic tasks boosts their self-worth and independence. It also prevents functional helplessness and anxiety later in life. Regardless of gender, wealth, or background, everyone should learn life skills. It teaches humility, encourages equality, and shapes a grounded, emotionally intelligent adult who respects all forms of work and walks of life,' she further elaborated. In an age where excess often drowns empathy, children need conscious parenting more than ever. 'Teach them that worth isn't tied to wealth, and respect isn't selective. Let them participate in chores, face consequences, and witness you treating everyone with dignity. Encourage gratitude over greed, and a sense of feeling over flaunting. Emotional awareness and exposure to diverse realities build depth and compassion,' concluded Khangarot. Marwah further pointed out that the onus lies on parents to shape their children into grounded beings. Character traits such as empathy, resilience, and generosity are often taught not through words but through actions. Since children observe rather than listen, these behaviours become ingrained in their character, she believes.
