Case Summary
The body of a Hindu youth named Madan Kohli was found hanging from a tree in Pakistan, under circumstances that suggest it was not a suicide. Local residents and community leaders are outraged, suspecting it to be a targeted attack against religious minorities. Despite an FIR being lodged, there is skepticism about whether the perpetrators will be held accountable.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, there is a strong suspicion expressed by the local minority Hindus that the victim was murdered because of his religious identity. In Islamic nations like Pakistan and Bangladesh, Hindus become the target of religiously motivated hate crimes and ethnic cleansing on a regular basis owing to the majority population's animosity towards Hindus. Per the information available, the identity of the perpetrators is also unknown. While it is entirely possible that the identity would never be known since the police in these Islamic countries regularly shield Muslim perpetrators. While the suspicions are strong, in this case, since there is no concrete indication of a religious motive, it is categorized as 'undecided'. If more information emerges, it will be added to the hate crime database.
