Rinima Borah, the newly crowned Mrs. India Galaxy 2024, recently opened up about her traumatic past as a victim of 'love jihad'. He revealed that her former Muslim boyfriend forced her to consume beef and compelled her to practice Namaz.
Rinima, who hails from Assam, made these shocking claims during a podcast. Recounting the harrowing details of her relationship with a Muslim boy, Rinima said, "I have experienced trauma of abuse since last 16 years. It will take years for me to forget about it. Every day I console myself saying those days are over now. Till date, some people tell me that it was all my fault and I still fight for that today. At the age of 16 I left to Bangalore from Assam to study. My first relationship was with a Muslim boy there. I used to think, like my parents, he used to abuse me for my good."
She further revealed, "At times I used to call him Taliban for the way he treated me. He used to brutally beat me up. I was made to eat beef. I remember the day when they made me forcibly have beef. His parents forced me to consume beef. Are you understanding? Yes, this is almost love jihad."
Rinima also revealed that her name was changed to Ayesha Hussain as part of an effort to further control her identity. "They made me do namaaz too," she added.
The abuse escalated when her ex-partner threatened to throw acid on her if she ever left him, but she eventually found the strength to break free from the relationship.
