Case Summary

Two Hindu sisters from the Mowa area of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, were simultaneously trapped and sexually exploited by a Muslim man named Mustafa Razak Khan, who concealed his religious identity and pretended to be a Hindu man. He established physical relations with both sisters independently while keeping each unaware of the other, demanded they convert to Islam, threatened to kill them, and extorted lakhs of rupees from them under false pretences. The incident came to light after two Hindu sisters lodged a complaint at the Vidhansabha police station. According to the complaint, Mustafa concealed his religious identity and presented himself as a Hindu man named Raja Singh in order to gain the trust of the women. The accused established contact with the sisters by offering assistance with household matters and helping them acquire land. Using this access, he entered into intimate relationships with both women separately while maintaining the false Hindu identity. One of the sisters was a widow, while the other was living separately from her husband. The complainants further stated that Mustafa sexually exploited them under false pretext of marriage. He deceived them with promises of marriage and a shared future while simultaneously pressuring them to convert to Islam. They also said that he extracted several lakhs of rupees from them by citing personal and family-related financial difficulties. When the women resisted, he threatened to kill them. Following the revelation of his true identity and the circumstances surrounding the relationships, the sisters filed a formal complaint seeking legal action. When both sisters became aware of the full extent of the deception, including that Mustafa had been simultaneously maintaining relationships with both of them under a false Hindu identity, they filed a complaint at Vidhan Sabha police station, Raipur. As of the date of writing this report, the investigation was ongoing.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

The primary category for the case is "Crimes against women in relationships and other sexual crimes". The sub-category for this case is "Man pretends to be Hindu". The tertiary categories here are "Name changed." When a non-Hindu man pretends to be a Hindu to deceive a Hindu woman into a relationship, the act is seen as triggered by malafide intentions. In some cases, the woman eventually accepts the man’s original religious identity and converts after the man’s identity is revealed. These cases could be argued as cases of religious brainwashing and a result of the pressure a woman feels after getting into a relationship with a man. The woman, it can be argued, also changed her religious identity because of the stigma she believes she might face if she chooses to walk out of a deceptive relationship. However, for the purpose of documenting hate crimes, the cases in this subcategory are limited to those where there is explicit violence aimed at religious conversion against the wishes of the victim (force-feeding beef, blackmailing with intimate videos, rape on refusal to convert, etc), or if the woman herself complains of the man’s religious deception. In such cases, it is established that the deception of the non-Hindu man had a specific aim of religious conversion or targeting of the victim due to her Hindu religious identity, therefore, making it a religiously motivated hate crime. Another sub-category for this case is "Brainwashed and/or groomed". The tertiary categories here are "Rape and sexual assault/harassment" and "Victim says she was brainwashed and/or groomed". In our database, we have not added incidents where women have converted to another religion of their free will and no allegations of forced/involuntary conversion have been made. However, there are certain cases of conversion where the consent itself is a result of the brainwashing or grooming of a minor by the non-Hindu perpetrator trying to victimise a woman for her Hindu religious identity. The phenomenon of grooming points to non-Hindu perpetrators identifying their Hindu victims’ vulnerabilities and exploiting them over months and sometimes years, to extract the supposed ‘consent’ in order to convert their religion. In most cases of grooming, the victims are minors or the grooming started when the victim was a minor. In other cases of grooming, the non-Hindu perpetrator brainwashes and grooms a minor victim to extract their trust and then proceeds to rape them repeatedly with the intent of converting them to their faith. It is pertinent to understand here that when the victim is a minor, the ‘consent’ to convert or enter into a romantic relationship with an adult itself is redundant – addressed by POCSO. While every case of conversion of a minor and incidents of establishing a physical relationship with a minor by an adult is a crime, for the purpose of this database, a case would be considered a hate crime only if there is a distinct religious angle to the grooming. For example, in the UK, if a Hindu minor is targeted by Pakistani grooming gangs, it would be considered a hate crime because the victims are specifically targeted owing to their non-Muslim religious identity with the perpetrators being Muslim. In other cases, if a Hindu minor is brainwashed into entering a physical relationship with the non-Hindu adult perpetrator and the family alleges grooming/brainwashing of the minor to convert her religion, it would form a part of this database. If the victim is a Hindu adult, the case would form a part of this database only if the victim herself says that she was brainwashed/groomed to convert her religion. However, if the victim is deceased (murdered or otherwise), the case would form a part of this database if her family/friends provided testimony that the victim was brainwashed/groomed to convert her religion. Since these crimes have a distinct religious angle where the victim is being targeted owing to her Hindu religious identity, these cases are considered a hate crime. One other sub-category for this case is "Forced conversion before marriage". In such cases, a non-Hindu man is in a relationship with a Hindu woman when the pressure to convert her religion begins to manifest. In such cases, typically, two patterns emerge. First, when the relationship is consensual, and the religious identity of the perpetrator is known to the Hindu woman in the relationship, however, at some point during the relationship, the non-Hindu man starts to force the victim to convert her religion and give up her Hindu religious identity. The second is when the woman gets into a marriage with the man pretending to share her faith. Later, when the truth is revealed, the man starts pressuring the woman to convert her religion and give up her religious identity. In both the situations, the methods used to force the victim to convert her religion often revolve around force-feeding beef, forcing her to wear hijab, forcing her to read the Kalma or even pressurizing the victim to do ‘Nikah’, which is marriage under Islamic law, with a prerequisite being conversion to Islam. Cases where a Hindu woman consensually converts to Islam in a relationship will be left out of the hate crime database, even though it could be argued in several cases that the conversion was a result of religious brainwashing. Another sub-category that this case qualifies for is "Assault or threat upon refusal to convert". When Hindu women are in a relationship with non-Hindu men, there are cases where the woman faces threats or assault after she refuses to convert and change her religious identity owing to pressure/force by the non-Hindu man. Such relationships may be consensual with the religious identity of the non-Hindu man known to the victim. Somewhere along the relationship, the non-Hindu man starts pressurizing the Hindu woman to convert to Islam and upon her refusal, assaults or threatens the victim. Such cases are driven by specific religious motivations and against the religious identity of the victim and are therefore qualified as hate crimes. Cases where the Hindu woman converts to Islam and does not file a complaint about the force or threat, are not considered a part of the hate tracker, even though, it may be argued that the woman was brainwashed or threatened to convert to Islam. This case has been added to the tracker because two Hindu sisters from the Mowa area of Raipur, Chhattisgarh, were simultaneously trapped and sexually exploited by a Muslim man named Mustafa Razak Khan, who concealed his religious identity and pretended to be a Hindu man. He established physical relations with both sisters independently while keeping each unaware of the other, demanded they convert to Islam, threatened to kill them, and extorted lakhs of rupees from them under false pretences. Mustafa Razak Khan did not trap one Hindu woman in his deceptive operation. He trapped two simultaneously. He presented himself as "Raja Singh" to both sisters independently, cultivated separate relationships with each under the same false Hindu identity. The operational sophistication required to simultaneously manage two separate grooming operations reflects a level of deliberate planning and psychological management that goes far beyond opportunistic predation. The accused deliberately concealed his religious identity to initiate and sustain relationships with the Hindu sisters. This itself is a clear manifestation of bias and malicious intent towards the victim's religion. By concealing his true identity, he exploited their trust, targeting them under false pretences. This indicates a premeditated intent to manipulate them based on her religious background. In cases like these, the tactic of adopting a false Hindu identity to manipulate and "ensnare" a Hindu individual is not just an act of personal betrayal but can also be interpreted as an expression of disdain or disregard for Hinduism and its customs that reflects a deeper animosity towards Hindus and their beliefs. In such instances, identity concealment is not merely a personal deception but a calculated strategy rooted in religious targeting and profiling. The accused was aware that the victim, being Hindu, may not have consented to the relationship had she known his real identity from the outset. He therefore circumvented her ability to exercise informed choice by deliberately lying about his name and religious background. This demonstrated a premeditated effort to exploit the victim specifically on the basis of her religious identity. The victims revealed that Mustafa sexually exploited them under false pretext of marriage, while simultaneously pressuring them to convert to Islam. In Islam, marriage to a non-Muslim partner is prohibited, which is why the victims were pressured for religious conversion. Pressuring a Hindu individual to discard her religious faith and embrace another was a direct attack on her religious identity and dignity. It was not a matter of personal choice; it was coercion rooted in hostility towards the victim's Hindu identity. Such an attempt reflects religious animosity because the act was not simply about personal differences but about erasing the victim’s Hindu faith, making it a religiously motivated crime. Furthermore, the accused also sexually exploited the victims and threatened to kill them when they resisted conversion. Often in such cases, sexual violence or death threats serve a dual purpose: physical subjugation and religious humiliation. The intention was to break the victims down, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, so that they could be converted. This was not random violence; it was systematic, targeted, and rooted in religious animosity. This case is being added to the hate crime database of the Hinduphobia Tracker because the simultaneous grooming, sexual exploitation, conversion coercion, death threats, and financial extortion directed at two Hindu sisters was deliberate, structured, and rooted in a sustained love jihad operation in which a false Hindu identity was the foundational instrument of access and the conversion of two Hindu women to Islam was the documented objective. The sisters were targeted specifically because they were Hindu and because their conditions of domestic vulnerability made them accessible to a predatory operation that exploited their trust in a man they believed shared their Hindu identity. This reflects an underlying hostility toward Hindu religious identity that cannot be characterised as anything other than religiously motivated. Given that this case met the parameters of a religiously motivated hate crime, it was added to the hate crime database of the tracker. Disclaimer: The exact date on which Mustafa Razak Khan first established contact with the two Hindu sisters was not confirmed in the source. The tracker records incident dates based on when the crime occurred rather than when it was reported or published. In this case, therefore, 30 May 2026 has been used as the indicative incident date, reflecting the publication date as the earliest available reference point since the exact commencement of the conduct was not confirmed in the source. This date has been recorded for documentation purposes only.
