Kerala, October 28, 2017 : A day after a video of Hadiya pleading to be 'saved' from her father's brutalities was released, Kerala's State Women Commission has directed Kottayam Superintendent of Police to inquire and submit a report on Hadiya's present conditions.

In the video release at a press conference in Kochi by social activist Rahul Eashwar, Hadiya can be heard saying, "You have to get me out. I am sure I will be killed tomorrow or the day after." Hadiya claims that her father is physically assaulting her and pleads to be saved in the video before her voice trails away.

The direction came following reports that Hadiya is being sedated and physically abused at her parents' house.

The State Women Commission has told the SP that an officer not less than the rank of a DSP should conduct the inquiry and submit a report on the condition of the 24-year old woman in love jihad case.

24 year old Akhila had converted to Islam and taken the name Hadiya to marry Shafin Jahan. Their marriage was declared null and void by the High Court of Kerala after Hadiya's father Ashokan has approached the court, claiming that his daughter had been forcefully converted and her alleged husband was involved in plans to take her out of the country for questionable reasons.

Consequently, Hadiya's husband Shafin Jahan had approached the Supreme Court and challenged the order by the High Court of Kerala, which is still hearing the case.
