Bangladeshi Arrested For Illegal Stay In Dehradun

Mamun Hasan, a Bangladesh national arrested for illegally residing in Dehradun under a false identity with fabricated documents, allegedly converted an Indian Hindu woman, Reena Chauhan, to Islam and married her in Bangladesh, police said.

Hasan — who assumed the identity of Sachin Chauhan — and Reena, residing in Dehradun’s Nehru Colony area, were arrested on Friday.

The



police on Sunday said they have come into possession of official documents from Bangladesh that suggest Hasan converted Reena to Islam before marrying her there.

Reena Chauhan assumed the name Farzana Akhtar following her conversion.

Police said that, after the matter of religious conversion came to light, a detailed investigation is being conducted into all aspects of the case.
