Case Summary

A five year old Hindu girl in Ballia district, Uttar Pradesh, endured repeated sexual abuse inside her primary school at the hands of the school principal. The abuse took place within the school premises where the child had been sent for education and safety. The incidents remained hidden for an extended period until the child’s behaviour changed noticeably after returning home from school. The Hindu minor girl studied at Siwan Kala Primary School under the Sikandarpur police station area in Ballia district. The perpetrator, Muslim man Faizullah Ansari, served as the principal of the school and had been posted there for nearly 20 years. During this period, he gained authority and trust within the school environment. The child’s family later discovered that he had repeatedly isolated the Hindu girl inside the school premises and sexually assaulted her in secret. On 28th April 2026, the Hindu minor girl returned home from school and remained withdrawn and silent. Her family noticed that she stayed away from others and stopped speaking normally. Initially, her mother believed she may have been scolded at school. However, when the child remained distressed for two consecutive days, the family became suspicious and began questioning her gently about what had happened. After repeated questioning from her mother, the Hindu girl broke down in tears and disclosed the abuse she had suffered inside the school. She stated that principal Faizullah Ansari regularly called her separately on the pretext of giving her chalk or chocolates. He then took her into the school bathroom where he sexually assaulted her. The child told her mother that the principal had committed obscene acts with her multiple times inside the school toilet. The Hindu minor girl further disclosed that the Muslim principal had also committed similar acts against another girl studying at the school. According to the child’s statement, the perpetrator repeatedly used small gifts and school related excuses to isolate her from other students before taking her into the bathroom. The abuse occurred inside the educational institution where the victim was placed under the care and supervision of school authorities. After hearing the child’s account, the Hindu girl’s mother informed the rest of the family. The family first contacted Dial 112 and later approached Sikandarpur police station on 30th April 2026 to file a written complaint against principal Faizullah Ansari. Following the complaint, police recorded the statement of the Hindu minor girl and initiated legal proceedings against the perpetrator. Police investigation identified Faizullah Ansari as a resident of Baddha Mohalla in Sikandarpur. Investigators found that he had served as principal at Siwan Kala Primary School for approximately two decades. Following the registration of the case, police arrested him on the Sikandarpur Ballia road. He was subsequently taken into custody for interrogation regarding the repeated sexual assaults committed against the Hindu child inside the school premises. The Hindu minor girl underwent medical examination at the Community Health Centre in Sikandarpur. After completion of preliminary legal procedures, the perpetrator was produced before court and sent to jail. Police confirmed that a case had been registered under relevant sections connected to sexual offences against minors and that further investigation remained ongoing. Local outrage intensified after details of the abuse emerged, following revelations that the child had been repeatedly assaulted inside her school by the principal entrusted with her care.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

This incident has been added to the Undecided database of the Hinduphobia Tracker. The sexual abuse of a five year old Hindu minor girl inside a primary school in Ballia district by Muslim principal Faizullah Ansari raised serious concerns that warranted documentation, but the available evidence did not permit a definitive classification of the case as a religiously motivated hate crime at this stage. The confirmed facts established that the Hindu minor girl studying at Siwan Kala Primary School was repeatedly taken into the school bathroom by principal Faizullah Ansari on the pretext of giving her chocolates or school related items, where he sexually assaulted her multiple times. The child disclosed the abuse to her family after returning home distressed and withdrawn on 28th April 2026. She further informed her mother that another girl at the school had also been subjected to similar acts by the same principal. Police subsequently registered a case, arrested the perpetrator, and sent him to jail after court proceedings. The case contained a contextual religious dimension because the victim was a Hindu minor girl and the perpetrator was a Muslim man in a position of authority over Hindu children within the school environment. These facts were documented by the tracker because religious identity formed part of the factual background of the case. However, the presently available evidence did not establish that the Hindu identity of the child was the specific reason she was targeted for abuse. The available material did not contain any indication that the perpetrator used religious coercion, anti Hindu slurs, conversion related threats, religious indoctrination, or any statements targeting the victim because of her Hindu faith. The evidence currently pointed towards repeated sexual abuse committed by a school authority figure against a vulnerable child under his supervision. While the abuse itself was grave and deeply disturbing, the investigation had not produced evidence showing that the victim was selected specifically because she was Hindu. The child’s statement indicated that another girl at the school had also faced similar abuse from the same perpetrator. This introduced the possibility of a broader pattern of predatory sexual behaviour directed at minor students generally rather than specifically targeted anti Hindu victimisation. At the time of documentation, the investigation had not clarified the identity, background, or selection pattern of other possible victims. Given the absence of confirmed evidence establishing religious targeting, the lack of religiously motivated statements or conduct, and the ongoing nature of the investigation, this case was categorised under the Undecided database. If further evidence emerged confirming that the Hindu child was specifically targeted because of her religious identity, then the case would be added to the hate crime database. Disclaimer: The exact date on which the abuse first began was not specified in the available sources. The reports only confirmed that the Hindu minor girl disclosed the repeated abuse to her family shortly before police action was initiated.1st May 2026, the publication date of the earliest available report, has been used as the indicative incident date in the tracker.
