Significant Developments in Agra's Conversion Case
In a major turn of events regarding the Agra conversion case, the primary suspect, Abdul Rahman, disclosed that he operated like a 'sleeper cell' for the past 35 years. He has been covertly converting young boys and girls to Islam through social media platforms. During his interrogation by Agra police, Rahman admitted to initially targeting young individuals and then sending Muslim youths from his group to brainwash them. Once these youths reached adulthood, they were lured with various incentives, taken to mosques to recite the Kalma, and married off to converted Muslims, all part of a well-orchestrated conversion process.
Involvement of a Larger Syndicate
Rahman confessed that he was not acting alone; a complete team was involved in this syndicate, operating secretly across different areas. He utilized books authored by Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui to brainwash individuals. Numerous such books and electronic devices were recovered from his residence, and investigations are ongoing. For 35 years, Rahman has been facilitating conversions to spread Islam.
Role of Social Media in Targeting Vulnerable Individuals
Rahman further revealed that social media played a crucial role in identifying and targeting sensitive individuals for conversion. During the inquiry, he informed the Agra police that several individuals were secretly functioning as sleeper cells under the conversion network. The police are now actively searching for other members involved in this syndicate.
