Death penalty for Jamaluddin alias Changur Baba is a must: Babita Chauhan

Lucknow : The Chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh State Women Commission has taken a firm stance against the illegal conversion of non-Muslim girls through deceit and enticement. She has called for the death penalty for those involved in such heinous crimes.

The UP ATS recently arrested Jamaluddin alias Changur Baba, the alleged mastermind behind a major religious conversion racket. A reward of Rs 50,000 had been announced for his arrest. Reports suggest he targeted girls from multiple communities and even maintained a ‘rate list’ for conversions — a shocking revelation that has sparked statewide outrage.

Condemning the act, the Commission Chairperson described it as a “well-orchestrated conspiracy”, asserting that “our daughters are not laboratories to test the toxic ideology of forced conversion.” She said those who deceive girls and rob them of their faith are enemies of society, and such criminals deserve nothing less than the death penalty.

She further emphasized that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already enacted stringent laws to curb illegal religious conversions, and now it is up to society to break its silence and take a stand.

Terming forced conversion through lies, manipulation, and greed as an unforgivable crime, she reiterated her demand for capital punishment. The Chairperson also urged women across the state to unite and raise their voices against such sinister conspiracies, adding that the recent ATS action marks a significant step in the ongoing crackdown on unlawful religious conversions.
