Case Summary

In Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, a Hindu woman was deceived into a relationship by a Muslim man who concealed his religious identity by posing as a Hindu. The accused, identified as Moin Mansoori, similarly targeted several other Hindu women using fake Hindu identities on social media. According to reports, Moin Mansoori, who was already married and had a child, presented himself as an unmarried Hindu man to lure Hindu women into relationships. He operated seven Instagram accounts under Hindu names to conceal his identity and approach potential victims. One of the Hindu victims entered into a relationship after the accused promised to marry her. However, she later discovered that Moin Mansoori was already married and the father of a child. When confronted, he attempted to mislead her by saying that he would marry her after obtaining a divorce from his first wife, thereby persuading her to continue the relationship. Subsequently, videos circulated on social media showing members of Hindu organisations detaining the accused and examining his mobile phone. The device revealed that he had been operating seven Instagram accounts under false Hindu names and had targeted multiple Hindu victims by posing as a Hindu. Following this, the accused was taken to the police station. The incident went viral on social media, causing widespread outrage among Hindu users. At the time of writing this report, there was no publicly available information regarding whether a complaint had been filed or whether any police action had been taken.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

In this case, the primary category selected is: Crimes against women in relationships or other sexual crimes. The subcategory selected is: Man pretends to be Hindu. The tertiary categories selected are: Name Changed, Pattern of targeting Hindu women. 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. In this case, the Hindu woman was deceived into a relationship by a Muslim man who concealed his religious identity by pretending to be Hindu. The perpetrator's act of deception by posing as a Hindu itself demonstrated a clear bias and malicious intent towards the victim's religion. By hiding his true identity, the Muslim man manipulated the Hindu woman's trust and specifically targeted her under false pretences, indicating a premeditated effort to exploit her on the basis of her religious identity. This constituted a direct violation of her right to make an informed decision regarding whom she chose to enter into a relationship with, as her consent was obtained through deliberate misrepresentation. The accused's deliberate decision to conceal his religious identity strongly underscored the religious motive behind this crime. In such instances, identity concealment is not merely a deceptive tactic for personal gain but a calculated strategy rooted in religious profiling and targeting. The accused was aware that the victim, being Hindu, would likely have refused his advances had she known his true identity, and he circumvented this by falsely presenting himself as a Hindu. This directly pointed to a religiously motivated intent. The fact that the accused had similarly targeted multiple Hindu women using fake Hindu identities further reinforced that this was not an isolated act of deception but part of a deliberate and repeated pattern of targeting Hindu women. The use of multiple false Hindu identities to approach different victims demonstrated premeditation rather than a spontaneous act of deceit, indicating that the concealment of his religious identity was a calculated method employed to gain the trust of Hindu women who might otherwise have rejected his advances. Such conduct demonstrated a fundamental disregard for the victims' autonomy, their religious identity, and their right to make informed choices regarding their personal relationships. It also exposed a broader pattern of religiously targeted victimisation, in which Hindu women were specifically singled out through deliberate identity concealment based on the assumption that they would not have consented had the accused disclosed his true religious identity. Notably, this was not the first time such an incident had occurred. The Hinduphobia Tracker had previously documented 1,267 cases of crimes against Hindu women in relationships with Muslim men. Of these, 789 victims were targeted by Muslim perpetrators who concealed their religious identity and posed as Hindus. This demonstrated that such incidents were not isolated occurrences but formed part of a recurring pattern in which Hindu women were systematically targeted through deliberate identity concealment. The repeated use of this method across hundreds of documented cases indicated a well-planned and calculated modus operandi employed to deceive Hindu women into relationships under false religious identities. Given that this case met the parameters of a hate-driven offence, it was added to the Hinduphobia Tracker's hate crime database. Disclaimer: The Hinduphobia Tracker records incident dates based on when the victim's ordeal begins rather than when the incident is reported by the media. However, in this case, media reports did not specify the exact date on which the victim's ordeal commenced. Therefore, 30 June 2026, the date on which the incident was reported by the media and went viral on social media, has been selected as the indicative incident date. This date has been recorded for documentation purposes only. Although this case involved multiple Hindu victims, publicly available media reports did not specify the total number of victims. Therefore, only the one identified Hindu victim has been included in the victim count. Accordingly, the victim count has been recorded as one. This is a conservative estimate recorded for documentation purposes only.
