A doctor in Assam has alleged being threatened by her family for converting to Hinduism, forcing her to go into hiding, while her brother has claimed that she has been kidnapped.
Even as the family sought police help in tracing her, a video by the doctor has emerged in which she claimed to be safe and voluntarily staying away for her safety.
As the matter was brought to the notice of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday, he directed the DGP to probe the issue.
"Take action as per Law after a proper enquiry @gpsinghips," Mr. Sarma wrote on X, sharing a post with the doctor's video.
In the video, the doctor claimed that she had irked her family by converting to Hinduism and they have threatened to kill her, leading her to go into hiding.
She also claimed that her family wanted to marry her off to an elderly maulvi as they believe it will lead her to 'jannat' (heaven) in the afterlife.
The video was shot at an airport, the doctor said, adding that she is completely safe though she didn't disclose her location.
