In Short

• Two accused arrested, third accused still absconding
• Case registered under multiple charges including rape and forced conversion

"Chhodo mujhe (let me go)," a 24-year-old woman frantically cries in a viral video as her former classmate, Ayyaz Taj Madare (26), forcefully holds her hands while chanting religious verses and repeatedly blowing over her as she struggles to break free. The woman alleges that she was subsequently declared converted and that an attempt was made to rape her thereafter.

The video has emerged as a key piece of evidence in a case involving the wife of an Indian Air Force officer in Nagpur, who has alleged that she was drugged, raped, blackmailed with obscene videos, extorted lakhs of rupees, and pressured to convert her religion.

Police have arrested Madare and Ameen Sheikh (30), while a manhunt is underway for the third accused, Hazrat Maulana, a resident of Tamia in Madhya Pradesh.

According to police, the 24-year-old complainant's husband serves in the Indian Air Force and is currently posted in another city. The woman works in property dealing.

In February 2025, Ayyaz allegedly contacted her on the pretext of purchasing a plot and called her to a hotel on Wardha Road.

She has alleged that he served her juice laced with an intoxicating substance and raped her while she was unconscious, recording videos and photographs of the act.

According to the complaint, the accused subsequently used the obscene videos to blackmail her, repeatedly sexually exploiting her and allegedly extorting Rs 3.09 lakh from her.

The woman further alleged that she was pressured to adopt Islam and was made to undergo various activities in the name of religious rituals.

She also claimed that on May 31, the accused took her to Kalmeshwar in Nagpur, where she was introduced to Ameen Sheikh and Hazrat Maulana.

According to the complaint, the three took her to a secluded location, conducted certain religious rituals and claimed that her religious conversion had been completed as seen in the above video. She has also alleged that another attempt was made to rape her thereafter.

Three days ago, when her husband returned home from duty, the woman informed him about the alleged incidents. Following this, a complaint was registered at Sonegaon Police Station.

Police have registered a case under charges including rape, extortion, attempted religious conversion, and provisions of the Maharashtra Prevention and Eradication of Human Sacrifice and Other Inhuman, Evil and Aghori Practices and Black Magic Act. The two arrested accused have been remanded to five days of police custody by a court.
