Muslim man converts to Hinduism with entire family to spur UP cops to investigate his son’s death

Baghpat(UP), Oct 3: After realising that the local police are treating his son’s suspected murder as suicide just because of his religion, a Muslim man in Uttar Pradesh has converted to Hinduism along with 12 members of his family.

The bizarre incident took place at Badarkha village under Chhaprauli police station area in Baghpat district on Monday (October 1). After formal conversation, Akhtar appealed the policemen to reinvestigate this son’s unnatural death case.

“We were Muslims. This might have discouraged the local police to properly investigate my son’s death case. Now, we have converted to Hinduism. I hope that at least now police will stop considering my son’s death as suicide,” said a helpless Akhtar told media persons after submitting affidavit to the area sub-divisional magistrate, testifying his “voluntary” change of religion.

The conversation took place with requisite rituals. The family members wrapped saffron robes around their shoulders and chanted “Jai Shri Ram”. They also got their names changed, he added. A 'hawan' and recitation of Hanuman Chalisa too was held at the Badarkha village on Tuesday.

Later, Yuva Hindu Vahini (Bharat) state chief Shaukendra Khokhar also urged the police to consider Akhtar’s son death case seriously.

Khokhar said Akhtar was upset after his son Gulhasan was "murdered". "Gulhasan's body, however, was hung to make it appear a suicide," he said.

“Despite repeated assertions by the youth’s family that he was murdered, the police concluded it to be a case of suicide. Akhtar’s family sought help from the members of their own community but they were not very forthcoming and did not help them much. This prompted Akhtar and his family members to change their religion,” he said.

Baghpat District Magistrate Rishirendra Kumar confirmed the incident and said the family members changed their religion as they were not satisfied with the police probe into the death of Akhtar's son a few months ago.

Islam is not a religion to add membership to show the population.

 

It is a true religion to practice guidelines of only one creator Allah (S.B.T). Accepting and quitting Islam will not make any difference for true Muslims. One who understands his creator will not reject his religion even if he dies because his life starts after death which is unlimited. The life in earth is so short that we can compare to hotel stay for a day.

 

Rejecting Islam means he is rejecting his creator Al Mighty Allah and it doesn’t mean he is quitting from Islam

 

 

Islam is the second largest religion in the world only in Qty. where is true Muslim? very few in qty

 

 

Accepting Islam doesn’t mean becoming membership in Islam. It is accepting his creator and his guidelines to practice successful and peaceful life and thereby prepare for his permanent life which starts after his death.

 

For true Muslims there is no fear to die. because he is always prepared and waiting for his death

 

 

May Almighty Allah guide us True path and success.

This is really unfortunate.  He has chnged in religion only to get the verdict in his favor.  Suppose he wont get it, will he convert to Christianity or Budhism or Sikhism?   Will the media give same preference in case he would have changed to religion other than Hinduism or if any Hindu converted to another religion.   This issue is now on the top agenda of Media and they are publishing it by applying ghee + butter.   None knows truth behind it.  However this family will not succeed in this world and the life after death if they convert to other religion though none can force them to change the religion.   Islam or Muslims will not lose anything if this family converts to another religion.   But this family will lose and they will realise it sooner or later.  Let us pray God to keep them on right path and not on the path of Sathan.

The religion is set of law decreed by the CREATOR/ ONE AND ONLY GOD.

It guides from birth till death and showing how to be also succesful in the life after the death.

 

This is not how we think just to suite the temporary needs.

Before accepting or rejecting any religion, he should have thorough idea of its teachings.

 

Unless it is known, believed in it  and practiced, we can not call him the follower of Hinduism OR ISLAM, OR Christianity OR whatever.

 

Like changing for personal temporary gains, has no meaning and not required they can live like aninals which have no religions.

The animals follow and  do whatever easy for them.

 

God give wisdom to all

Mangaluru: In a decisive move to tackle the city’s deteriorating sanitation infrastructure, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has announced a massive ₹1,200 crore action plan to overhaul its underground drainage (UGD) network.

The initiative, spearheaded by Deputy Commissioner and MCC Administrator Darshan HV, aims to bridge "missing links" in the current system that have left residents grappling with overflowing sewage and environmental hazards.

The Breaking Point

The announcement follows a high-intensity phone-in session on Thursday, where the DC was flooded with grievances from frustrated citizens. Residents, including Savithri from Yekkur, described a harrowing reality: raw sewage from apartments leaking into stormwater drains, creating a "permanent stink" and turning residential zones into mosquito breeding grounds.

"We are facing immense difficulties due to the stench and the health risks. Local officials have remained silent until now," one resident reported during the session.

The Strategy: A Six-Year Vision

DC Darshan HV confirmed that the proposed plan is not a temporary patch but a comprehensive six-year roadmap designed to accommodate Mangaluru’s projected population growth. Key highlights of the plan include:

•    Infrastructure Expansion: Laying additional pipelines to connect older neighborhoods to the main grid.

•    STP Crackdown: Stricter enforcement of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) regulations. While new apartments are required to have functional STPs, many older buildings lack them entirely, and several newer units are reportedly non-functional.

•    Budgetary Push: The plan has already been discussed with the district in-charge minister and the Secretary of the Urban Development Department. It is slated for formal presentation in the upcoming state budget.

Mangaluru, Dec 15: Educational institutions in Mangaluru that rely on the popular Mangala Stadium for their annual sports events are bracing for an inconvenience as the city's key sporting venue is set to close its gates for a significant upgrade. The stadium is expected to be unavailable for approximately two months starting from January 15, 2026.

The closure is necessitated by a proposed overhaul of the stadium's facilities, with a special focus on upgrading the synthetic track. Pradeep Dsouza, Assistant Director of the District of Youth Empowerment and Sports (DYES), Dakshina Kannada, confirmed the development.

"Experts have visited the stadium, conducted a thorough inspection, and have given the go-ahead for a complete makeover," Dsouza stated. "Funds have been allocated for the project, and we are currently awaiting the final green signal from state officials to commence the work. We anticipate that the work will likely begin in the second week of January. Consequently, we have stopped renting out the stadium to colleges and other organizations in preparation for the upgrade."

The timing presents a logistical challenge for colleges, as many schools have already concluded their sports meets.

"Colleges will now be organizing their events and will need to find alternative locations to host their sports meets," Dsouza added. He suggested a few potential venues, including the Dakshina Kannada police ground, University College grounds, Panambur grounds, Swaraj Maidan in Moodbidri, and the Mangalore University sports grounds in Konaje.

However, many institutions note that finding a comparable venue will be difficult. While the DK police ground and University College grounds are closer to the city center, they do not possess the extensive facilities and infrastructure offered by Mangala Stadium.

Dr. P Dayananda Pai - P Satisha Govt First Grade College, Carstreet, is one such institution dependent on the stadium. Principal Jayakar Bhandary expressed hope for a swift completion of the work. "We expect the work to be completed at the earliest. If not, we will be forced to look for other venues to host the sports day for our students," Bhandary said, highlighting the pressing need for the city's main sporting facility.
