Kerala: A young woman from a reputed Hindu family in Kottarakkara, Kerala, who had been reported missing, was recently traced by the police to the residence of a man allegedly affiliated with the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI). The development has sparked controversy and raised concerns in the local community.
According to sources, when police officials arrived at the house to bring the woman back, they were met with resistance from a group of SDPI workers who had reportedly gathered at the location. The crowd allegedly attempted to prevent the authorities from carrying out their duty, leading to a tense standoff.
In a video that has surfaced online, the man in question can be seen filming the police while they try to reason with those assembled, explaining the legal grounds for their intervention. The police reportedly exercised restraint and attempted to defuse the situation peacefully.
The girl’s family, known to be influential and well-established in the region, has expressed distress over the incident. Sources close to the family claim that they felt helpless in the face of what they describe as organized resistance to law enforcement efforts.
Some community groups have voiced concern, alleging that such incidents are part of a broader pattern aimed at targeting Hindu families through coercive relationships and religious conversions. These claims, however, remain unverified and are likely to invite further political and legal scrutiny.
Authorities have yet to make an official statement on whether any legal action will be taken against those who obstructed the police or whether the case will be escalated to involve more extensive investigations.
The incident has reignited debates around religious conversions, interfaith relationships, and the role of political organizations in such cases, with several Hindu organizations calling for urgent government intervention.
