As per the complaint filed by the victim's mother, Shivani used to recharge her mobile phone at a shop belonging to one Khaleel. Khaleel befriended her and promised her that she would get a good job and money in 2021.

"He took her to his relative's house, where she was then allegedly forced to offer namaz and recite the Quran. Also, he has changed her name to Ayisha. Khalib had also allegedly sexually molested her," the complainant said in a letter.

The girl said she had been working in Bikarnakatte when she met one of the accused who promised her a better job. On January 14 last year, he allegedly took her to his relative's house in Kallapu, where she was introduced to a woman, reports TOI.

Thereafter, she was taken to a different location for a new job.

Later she worked in a house for eight months and the third house in Kasaragod for another seven months before being employed by the doctor.

The complaint said that her daughter joined the doctor's house for a job, where she was forced to wear a burkha. At the same time, a person named Aiman contacted her on Instagram and forced her to get into a relationship with him.

Shivani has now demanded action against the accused for allegedly forcing her to convert to Islam.

Further investigation is underway.
