AGRA: More trouble brewed for Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) professor Khalid Bin Yusuf Khan , who has been accused of “wrongly” giving talaq to his wife, Yasmeen Khalid, as their 20-year-old daughter, Ibra Khalid, lodged a complaint against her father and two others on Sunday, accusing them of threatening to kill both her 17-year-old brother and herself on Friday.

Aligarh senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rajesh Pandey said that a case has been registered on the basis of Ibra’s complaint. “Yusuf and his associates Wasim Raza Khan (who teaches at Abdulla Girls College) and Shahnawaz (a class IV employee in the Sanskrit department of AMU) have been booked under sections 323 (causing hurt), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 342 (wrongful confinement) of the IPC.”

In her complaint, Ibra has alleged that on Friday at about 3.30 pm when she was at home alone with her brother Usaid, her father, along with two “goondas” came and threatened to burn them alive if she didn’t open the house for them. She has alleged that once she opened the door, her father abused her and had kept the siblings confined, while attempting to change the locks of the house.

Ibra claimed that she had informed her mother, who in turn had informed the police. Ibra has also alleged that if the police hadn’t reached on time, her father and his associates would have burnt Usaid and her alive. She has also alleged that her father has been staying separately since September, after fighting with their mother and has “relations” with some other women.

Meanwhile, politics has also crept into an otherwise family dispute with Aligarh’s RSS affiliates jumping to Yasmeen’s help. Talking to TOI, Jaiprakash Saraswat, vibhag pramukh, Samajik Samrasta Manch, said that they would provide whatever help the family needed, as the professor was misusing the triple talaq practice, despite SC putting a ban on it.

Yasmeen Khalid has alleged that she has become a victim of triple talaq after 23 years of marriage. She has claimed that her husband who is physically challenged and is also the chairperson of department of Sanskrit in AMU “wrongly” gave her talaq first on WhatsApp and then as a text message. She said she will have no choice but to kill herself along with her three children in front of VC Tariq Mansoor’s house if she doesn’t get justice by December 11.

Yasmeen along with her daughter, Ibra and son Usaid with placards in their hand reached police station on Sunday and demanded action against the professor. They have also demanded help from Prime Minister Modi and asked him if triple talaq has been banned why “injustice” was being allowed.
