Trigger Warning: Distressing visuals<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A 26-second clip showing police personnel recovering the body of a woman from a refrigerator is being widely circulated on social media platforms. Users have claimed that the remains are of a Muslim woman named Gulnaz, who was murdered by her husband Sanjay. The video is being shared as another case of ‘Bhagwa Love Trap’.<\/p>\n

‘Bhagwa Love Trap<\/a>‘ is a conspiracy theory popular among select groups of Muslims as a counter narrative to the ‘Love Jihad’ claims of the Right Wing. In ‘Bhagwa Love Trap<\/a>‘, according to the theory’s proponents, Hindu men purposefully lure Muslim women into romantic relationships to coerce them to embrace Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma and move away from Islam.<\/p>\n

The clip of the woman’s body being recovered was shared by X (formerly Twitter) account @T_A_backup on January 26. The caption said that the victim, Gulnaz, had converted to Hinduism after marrying Sanjay and threatened to report her parents to the police when they protested. “Gulnaz\u2019s rotting body was later found in a FRIDGE with Sanjay nowhere to be found,” this person added.

Another X user, @NazneenAkhtar23, shared the same clip on January 24 with a Hindi caption that said, “The incident is from Dewas, Madhya Pradesh. Hindu #Sanjay Patidar and Muslim girl Gulnaz eloped and got married and were living in rented accommodation. The room was locked up for 4 days and when people broke in to check, they found Gulnaz’s dismembered body in the fridge. Now tell me, su\/varon (pigs), who is the jihadi?” (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n
