The Mumbai police have arrested Sunil Pumpwell, a Bajrang Dal leader from Mangaluru in connection with the abduction of a girl.
It is said that Reshma, who was studying in a private college in Mangaluru, had married Iqbal Choudary of Mankhurd in Mumbai.
However, the Hindu organisations had claimed it as 'Love Jihad' and had even submitted a memorandum to the Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during her recent visit to Mangaluru. Though Reshma's parents persuaded her to return to their native place, she did not do so.
Recently, her husband had filed a habeas corpus petition in a court seeking to trace Reshma, who was allegedly kidnapped from a mall in Mumbai. Now, the Mumbai police have arrested Sunil Pumpwell in connection with her abduction.
