MBA graduates Ashitha and Shakeel Ahmed got married at a convention centre in Karnataka's Mysuru today. Present at the Nikaah were their families, friends and a lot of policemen.
Outside the bride's home in Mandya, right-wing Hindu activists protested against the wedding calling it "love jihad" and alleging that Shakeel, a Muslim man, was forcing Ashitha, who is Hindu, to convert to Islam by marrying her.
