Claims have emerged alleging that a Muslim girl was converted to Hinduism and sold by a gang in Gujarat. The incident is portrayed as the accused are Hindus who lured the girl, converted her to Hinduism, and sold her. However, D-Intent Data has found that these claims are not true. The primary accused include Ayesha (alias Komal) and Mohammed Adil (alias Golu Pathan), along with other suspects named Jeevan, Dharmendra, Vimala, and Ravi. These findings suggest that the case involves a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds engaging in criminal activities, rather than being driven by communal motives.

Hindu religious priests and orgs encourage #BhagwaLoveTrap programme where Hindus are encouraged to convert Muslim girls to hinduism. Most of these girls are later dragged into prostitution.
