The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday submitted a third status report on the Kerala 'love jihad' episode to the Supreme Court, where the case is scheduled for hearing on Monday. The agency completed the detailed status report after a thorough examination of 11 cases of alleged 'love jihad' and handed it over to the Supreme Court in a sealed envelope, an official said. A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra will on November 27 hear the plea by Asokan, the father of Hadiya, a 24-year-old Hindu woman from Kerala who converted to Islam and married a Muslim man Shafin Jahan.
