A short story:
In Nov 2018, a man from UP’s Shamli named Saleem gave an affidavit in local court that he and his family were changing religion. News leaked in local media and became national news. I also visited him and wrote a report +
In 2018 when he was 31, he decided to revert to his original name and faith +
On 16 Jan, he sent me a Whatsapp video saying he was ready to commit suicide +
It’s been a year since these developments. Today, Susheel is happy and lives with his family +
Here’s the story of what all happened over the last year:

This is what Susheel's wife Wajida told me in Nov when I asked her about her husband's decision to change his and family's religion. (I was giggling not at her answer but because her son had started rolling on floor in a funny way)
