The court said the police cannot take any coercive action against the accused for now.
Lucknow:
A 32-year-old Muslim man, one of the first to be charged under Uttar Pradesh s controversial anti-conversion law, cannot be arrested yet, the Allahabad High Court has ruled, stepping into the spiralling debate over Love Jihad .
Nadeem and his brother Salman were named in the complaint filed last month in western Uttar Pradesh s Muzaffarnagar by Akshay Kumar Tyagi, who works in a prominent pharmaceutical company as a labour contractor.
Akshay said Nadeem, a labourer, used to frequent his house in Muzaffarnagar and had trapped his wife Parul in a net of love with the aim of converting her. To seduce her, Nadeem gifted her a smartphone and promised to marry her, Akshay alleged.
