Allahabad HC orders U.P. police to produce man detained by father after marriage with Muslim woman
India's Allahabad High Court directed Uttar Pradesh police to present Ayush Malik before the court after he was allegedly detained by his father following his marriage to Muslim woman Chandni Qureshi. In a habeas corpus petition, Malik asserts he voluntarily left Hinduism and embraced Islam without pressure. The petition also accuses state officials of cooperating with his father to keep him in custody.
