The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the Kerala police to hand over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) the probe records of a case concerning the conversion and radicalisation of a Hindu girl, and her marriage to a Muslim.
A Bench led by Chief Justice of India J.S. Khehar said the NIA had to get involved to gauge whether this was an “isolated case” or part of a radicalisation trend in the southern State, threatening national security.
When the lawyer for Shafin Jahan protested the move, the court promptly recorded its “impression” that he “does not desire the correct and independent view of the controversy”.
