Mohammad Ijaz stabs his wife Apoorva Puranik 23 times after she finds out about his first marriage

In yet another case of alleged love jihad, a man named Mohammad Ijaz in Karnataka stabbed his wife Arfa Bano, (earlier Apoorva Puranik) 23 times with a machete as revenge for leaving him.

The case has been deemed as another example of Love Jihad because Mohammad Ijaz was already married and had three children and when Apoorva discovered this lie, she sought a divorce.

The gruesome incident took place in the Gadag district of Karnataka on Thursday, (March 10) and as per the latest reports, the victim is in critical condition at a local hospital in the city.

From the beginning, Ijaz lied about everything and told Apoorva that he works as an auto driver in his free time as he was pursuing his education. On the other hand, Apoorva Puranik hailed from a good family and has studied MBA.

However, Apoorva against her family’s wishes married Ijaz in 2018, converted to Islam, changed her name to Arfa Bano, and started following wearing a burqa and hijab.

Apoorva who is a Brahmin also started consuming meat and completely abandoned her Hindu traditions after Ijaz forced her to convert to Islam.

Meanwhile, Apoorva’s family decided to reconcile with her daughter and developed a cordial relationship as the couple had a son 

But some time later, Apoorva discovered Ijaz had lied to her and was already married and had fathered three children. This discovery of betrayal led Apoorva to move into her parent’s residence in Gadag district along with her two-year-old son and she filed for divorce at a local court as Ijaz began to torture her.

That is why in a fit of rage, Ijaz chased and stabbed his estranged wife collapsed to the ground covered in her own blood. After the deadly attack, Ijaz left the crime scene and the Gadag police are now looking for him.
