One day, the woman asked her boyfriend if he wanted to watch 'The Kerala Story'. After much persuasion, the accused reluctantly agreed to watch the movie with her.
The duo watched the movie and it was when the woman decided to take a stand for herself. She gathered courage after watching the film and decided to file a complaint against her boyfriend, following a heated argument with him.
Faizan, the accused, was arrested under provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act 2021, which prohibits conversion by force or cheating, and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Khajrana police station in-charge Dinesh Verma told reporters.
"The woman said she and the man recently went to watch 'The Kerala Story'. After watching the film, the duo argued and the man left her after assaulting her. She approached the police on May 19 and lodged an FIR," the police officer said.
