Hyderabad: A Muslim man, whose paternal origins are from Pakistan, was arrested by Langar Houz police on Friday, August 15, after his wife registered a cheating case against him.
Keerthi married Fahad in 2016. She was previously married and had a child, but divorced her husband. After her marriage to Fahad, she reportedly converted to Islam and changed her name to Zoha Fatima.
Recently, Fahad was caught cheating red-handed by Keerthi in Banjara Hills.
“She first approached Banjara Hills police but since the couple reside in Langar Houz, they were asked to file a complaint here,” Langar Houz police told Siasat.com.
Keerthi’s allegations also include forced religious conversion. “We have registered a case and arrested the husband. The charge of religious conversion is being investigated. We suspect the wife is trying to make a political issue out of this, seeing that they had been living together all these years without complaint,” the police said.
