Case Summary

A Hindu woman from Gorakhpur was subjected to prolonged abuse, deception, and coercion after being trapped in a fraudulent relationship by Aamir Masood, who presented himself as Aditya Verma. The harassment, which included repeated sexual assaults and threats to her life, escalated when the victim refused to convert to Islam under pressure from the accused. Kotwali police registered a case following orders from the SP, and investigations were underway. According to the victim, she had moved with her family from Gorakhpur to Kuravali, Mainpuri, 21 years ago. Four years ago, she met Aamir, who introduced himself as Aditya Verma, and began a romantic relationship with her. During this live-in relationship, she became pregnant four times, and Aamir administered medication to induce abortions. When the victim discovered Aamir’s true identity and his concealment of his religion, he escalated his pressure, demanding that she convert to Islam to continue the relationship. He threatened that if she refused, he would kill her and make her private photos viral on social media. The abuse intensified further when Aamir, along with his brother Muveen, held the victim hostage at his residence in Katra Mohalla. During this period, both brothers repeatedly gang-raped her at night. On 8 September 2025, the victim managed to escape. She reported that despite filing a complaint with Kotwali police, no immediate action was taken until the SP intervened. The victim stated that Aamir works at the RTO office as a licensee and insurance agent, while Muveen is a supervisor in the municipality. She believes their positions and influence contributed to the delay in action against them. Both brothers also issued death threats, warning they would behead her, forcing her to hide for safety. The Kotwali police registered a case, and an investigation ensued to ensure accountability for the multiple crimes committed, including deception, sexual assault, threats, and coercion to convert the victim’s religion.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

The primary category in this case is: Crimes against women in relationships and other sexual crimes. The first subcategory under this case is: Man pretends to be Hindu. The tertiary category under this is: 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. The second subcategory under this 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 pressurising 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. The third subcategory under this 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 pressurising 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. The fourth subcategory under this is: Blackmailed to convert. When Hindu women are in a relationship with non-Hindu men, there are cases where the woman is blackmailed to convert her religion, owing to her religious identity of being a Hindu. Such relationships may be consensual with the religious identity of the non-Hindu man known to the victim; however, there could be cases where the relationship is not consensual and the non-Hindu man starts blackmailing a Hindu woman to convert her religion. In these cases, it is often seen that the Hindu woman is blackmailed with intimate photos and/or videos, threats of harm to her or her family, threats of violence etc. Such cases are driven by specific religious motivations and against the religious identity of the victim and are therefore qualified as hate crimes. This case has been included in the Hinduphobia Tracker because the facts clearly establish that the crimes committed against the victim were not only sexual in nature but were also explicitly tied to her Hindu identity and to the perpetrator’s intent to coerce her into religious conversion. The relationship itself began with deception, wherein Aamir Masood concealed his Muslim identity and falsely introduced himself as Aditya Verma, a Hindu man. This deception is not incidental; it represents a calculated act with a religious motive. By presenting himself as Hindu, Aamir ensured that the woman, a Hindu, would enter into a relationship with him under false pretences. The element of concealment and fraud signals the malafide purpose at the very foundation of the interaction. The pressure upon the victim to convert to Islam emerged when the deception was eventually uncovered. At that stage, the crime escalated beyond personal violation into a hate-driven campaign against her religion and identity. The victim was threatened with death, blackmail through intimate photographs, and relentless psychological abuse unless she surrendered her Hindu faith and embraced Islam. The Hindu woman was systematically blackmailed and terrorised to break her will and force her to convert to Islam. This pressure was not abstract but sharply coercive, intended to strip her of her autonomy and her religious belonging. The refusal to convert marked a clear turning point, after which the violence became more brutal and systematic. The abuse was further compounded by the participation of Aamir’s brother, Muveen, demonstrating how the intent to subjugate the victim transcended a single perpetrator. Both brothers collaborated in detaining her, holding her hostage, and subjecting her to repeated gang-rapes during the night. The fact that this escalation followed her refusal to convert to Islam firmly situates the case in the subcategory of “assault or threat upon refusal to convert.” The sexual violence here cannot be detached from its ideological underpinning: it was weaponised to break her resistance to conversion. Her pregnancies and the repeated abortions, forced through the administration of medication by Aamir, add another dimension to the pattern of abuse. These actions deprived her not only of bodily autonomy but also of reproductive choice, illustrating that her very existence was being manipulated to suit the perpetrator’s religious agenda. This, coupled with death threats and warnings of beheading, aligns with practices often employed to terrorise Hindu women into compliance with forced conversion. It is crucial to highlight that the victim herself attributed the delay in police action to the influence held by the perpetrators through their official positions. This suggests that the woman’s Hindu identity and her insistence on resisting conversion left her vulnerable, not merely to personal harm, but also to systemic neglect and intimidation. Thus, this case qualifies as a hate crime against Hindus because the violence cannot be explained as a mere interpersonal dispute. It was structured, progressive, and religiously motivated. The fraud of concealing identity, the coercion to convert, the escalation of threats and sexual assaults upon refusal, and the eventual gang-rape carried out by more than one individual, all constitute a deliberate targeting of a Hindu woman with the aim of erasing her religious identity. This was not an act of private immorality alone but a crime of religious aggression, which places it squarely within the scope of Hinduphobia.
