The woman's husband said he last talked to her in the evening of 10th July. “She called me and told me that she has gone out. He said that later a photo of her wearing a burqa of Muslim women went viral.
The locals said that the woman had purportedly married one Irfan Haider, a resident of Nawanagar Himmatnagar in Gujarat. The woman's husband said that the accused Irfan Haider has “brainwashed” his wife and taken her away. “She has been converted and taken to Kuwait.
