Radha Bheel was subjected to forced renunciation of faith.
In April 2025, 14-year-old Radha Bheel, a Hindu girl from Hyderabad, was abducted at gunpoint from her home by three men. Bheel was soon converted to Islam, renamed "Muskan," and married to one of her abductors, a factory coworker of her father. Her father filed a first information report (FIR) under Sections 365-B and 34 of the Pakistani Penal Code. Police officers dismissed the likelihood of a forced conversion through marriage and failed to recover and produce Bheel in court, leading to a community protest.
