The wife of a revenue official has filed a police complaint alleging that her husband, Ashish Gupta, converted to Islam, changed his name to Mohammad Yusuf, and married a Muslim woman in the southern Uttar Pradesh town of Maudaha.
The saga began on September 2 when Ashish Gupta assumed his role as Naib Tehsildar in Maudaha. For days, an unfamiliar figure was seen at the town's Kachariya Baba Masjid, ardently participating in namaz. The town's curiosity piqued, an inquiry ensued, revealing the man's identity as Mohammad Yusuf, a self-proclaimed resident of Kanpur.
However, further probe by the people revealed that Mr Yusuf was none other than the Naib Tehsildar Ashish Gupta himself. Anticipating potential fallouts of the bizarre situation, the mosque's cleric alerted the police.
