"I have received a good offer from the Kerala police. I am Shefin Mohammed. To make things a little more clear, I am the real accused in the cases 889/11 and 1051/13, which have been imposed on Hadiya's husband Shafin Jahan", read his Facebook post.

Shefin Mohammed also went Live on Facebook from Dammam in Saudi Arabia hours later and explained the same. The video has gone viral, garnering more than 45K views and around 2K shares. Watch the video here:

Shafin Jahan himself put up a Facebook post on Friday, saying the police are trying to frame him with the cases against Shefin Mohammed, though all other details excepts the names being completely different.

The Kerala High Court had annulled Hadiya's marriage to Shafin Jahan in May, describing it as a case of 'love jihad', after acting on a complaint filed by her father. Later in August, the Supreme Court ordered for an NIA probe into the case, after Shafin Jahan filed a petition, challenging the HC verdict.
