Bindu Sampath is the mother of Nimisha, who after converting to Islam, changed her name to Fathima and soon after, went missing. Bindu wants the Supreme Court to direct the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to investigate forced conversion cases in the country .

She is also seeking an extensive investigation into the phenomenon of alleged 'love jihad' in Kerala.Love jihad is a term used by right-wing Hindu groups to describe inter-faith marriages which they say is an Islamist conspiracy to convert Hindu women through marriage or coercion.
