Mangaluru: This could be my last video. My life is under threat and if something happens to me, my mother is responsible for it. I have suffered enough, for having loved a Muslim man for the last two years. I was sent to an orphanage run by RSS for 2 months and now I am in Mangaluru, under the custody of BJP, at a rented house. I have suffered a lot."

According to The News Minute 24-year-old Anjali Prakash, a native of Thrissur district, raised serious allegations against her mother and the Sangh Parivar, in a video released to her father's relatives.

The news portal reports, Anjali said that she was being illegally detained by her mother for being in a relationship with a Muslim man. The video was aired by Malayalam news channel MediaOne on Saturday, five days after the Mangaluru police rescued Anjali.

The woman said she shot the video from a rented house in Mangaluru she had been confined to for the past one year. Anjali further said that her mother took her to Amrita hospital in Kochi for psychiatric treatment, before bringing her to Mangaluru. She spoke about the alleged involvement of RSS and BJP members in harassing her.

Mangaluru DCP (Crime) Uma told TNM that a team of Mangaluru City Police rescued Anjali on May 1, based on a tip off.

The police also booked Anjali's mother for illegally detaining her daughter in the house. She was, however, released on interim bail.

After rescuing Anjali, Second Class Judicial Magistrate Court in Mangaluru sent Anjali to a Mahila Mandiram, after she refused to go with her mother.

Anjali's case comes months after a Yoga centre in Tripunithura came under the scanner for detaining Hindu women in relationship with men outside their religion and allegedly torturing them.
