A week after Nadiad town witnessed a bandh called by the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) over the alleged “love jihad” after a Muslim bootlegger eloped with a 21-year-old Hindu girl, now, 25 kilometres away, Gangapur village of Kathlal taluka in Kheda district is witnessing a similar protest.
The local Kutch Kadva Patel community has submitted a memorandum to the taluka officer against the alleged “abduction” of a married Hindu woman by a married Muslim man from the village. The community members have warned the district administration that in absence of action against the man, the village will observe a bandh.
