The parents of a 23-year-old college student in Mangaluru have raised concerns about their daughter’s marriage to a youth from a different community, suspecting a “Muslim conspiracy” and seeking police assistance. They claimed that their daughter, Vaishali, was coerced and manipulated into the relationship, emphasizing that she was not the type to fall in love in such a manner. The parents have filed a complaint with the Surathkal police, leading to the registration of an FIR and an ongoing investigation into the situation.
Mother Latha expressed distress over the turn of events, highlighting that their daughter had been brought up with love and care and had never shown any signs of straying from their expectations. The family was shocked by the sudden revelation and promptly reported the matter to the authorities, expressing a desire for Vaishali’s safe return. The parents, who were unaware of the boy involved, are determined to have their daughter back with them.
Vaishali, hailing from Kasaragod district in Kerala, was pursuing studies in Criminology at a college near Surathkal. She reportedly entered a registered marriage with Mohammad Midlaj from Wayanad, Kerala, on January 31. Concerned about her well-being, her family took swift action upon learning of the marriage through social media, eventually filing a missing persons report with the police. The situation escalated when the parents alleged that the police in Wayanad favored the young man, leading to a series of conflicting statements from Vaishali.
The parents’ visit to Wayanad to meet their daughter resulted in a brief interaction, during which Vaishali initially expressed a desire to return home. However, the family claimed that their time with her was limited, and they accused the police of bias towards the man. Vaishali’s actions, including tearing up her initial statement and providing a new one, added to the complexity of the situation. The police assured that the matter is under investigation, with actions to be determined based on the outcome of the inquiry.
