Conversion Allegation
One complainant further alleged that she was pressured to convert her religion.
According to the FIR, she stated that she converted under pressure and was made to wear a burqa and offer prayers.
Police said they were investigating the allegations under relevant sections pertaining to rape and forced conversion.
Investigation Status
Mobile phones and digital communications were being examined.
Police said suspicious WhatsApp groups were found on one of the devices.
Additional DCP Gautam Solanki confirmed that a case had been registered and the accused were being questioned.
The investigation is ongoing.
Why This Matters
The case centres on informal job promises made to young women from economically weaker backgrounds.
The offer of salary, accommodation and relocation formed the basis of recruitment, according to the complaints.
It also highlights how digital communication platforms were allegedly used to coordinate movement and store photographs that were later cited as tools of blackmail.
For young people seeking employment outside their hometowns, especially in informal domestic work, the case underscores the risks linked to unverified job offers and relocation without formal contracts.
The Wider Context
Informal domestic work remains one of the least regulated employment sectors in India.
Job offers are often communicated through personal referrals or messaging platforms, with limited written documentation or verification.
According to data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey 2019–20 released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, India has around 4.75 million domestic workers.
A large proportion of this workforce operates in the informal sector without formal contracts or legal safeguards.
