Indian Man Travels to Pakistan for Love, Converts to Islam, but Gets Rejected by Girlfriend

Indian Man’s Heartbreak and Legal Troubles After Rejection by Pakistani Girl**

Mandi Bahauddin (Daily Pakistan Online) – A 20-year-old man from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Badal Babu, fell in love through an online connection and traveled all the way to Pakistan, converting to Islam and changing his name to Rehan. However, his journey of love turned tragic when the girl, Sana Rani, for whom he had made such drastic changes, rejected his marriage proposal, leading to both a broken heart and legal complications.

According to *Times of India*, Badal Babu met the Pakistani girl Sana Rani on social media two years ago, and their friendship gradually turned into deep love. Driven by the desire to do anything for his beloved, he decided to cross the Atari-Wagah border into Pakistan, embrace Islam, and propose to her.

However, his hopes were shattered when Sana Rani turned down his marriage proposal. Badal’s life took an unexpected turn, and he ended up caught in legal troubles. On December 27, 2024, he was arrested in Sana’s hometown of Mandi Bahauddin, where he had been working as a shepherd. During his arrest, Badal tried to claim he was from Karachi, but investigations revealed the truth.

Badal’s lawyer decided to take up his case on humanitarian grounds, arguing in court that his client feared returning to India due to the potential danger he faced because of his religious conversion. Badal’s employer, Haji Khan Asghar, explained that Badal had initially asked for work, later sharing his love story with him.

Asghar further explained that Sana and her mother had invited Badal to their home initially, but once they learned the truth, they rejected his proposal, leaving Badal stranded and helpless in Pakistan. Recently, Badal was allowed to contact his parents, and in an emotional moment, he was seen speaking to them outside the court while handcuffed. His lawyer stated that investigations into the illegal border crossing are ongoing, with the next hearing scheduled for the end of this month.
