Mandya (Karnataka), Jan 15 An elopement case involving a Muslim boy and a 15-year-old Hindu girl took a communal turn with Hindu activists alleging it to be a case of 'love jihad' on Monday.

The incident was reported in K.R. Patna police station in Mandya district. The parents of the girl have filed a complaint with the police.

According to police, the accused 19-year-old Syed Tabrez had eloped with a minor girl belonging to the Hindu community on January 12. Both are residents of K.R. Pet town.
