Case Summary
In Balrampur district, a case of a minor Hindu being pregnant gained attention after being reported by IBC 24, prompting police action. Authorities registered an FIR and arrested a Muslim youth in connection with the Hindu girl, who was found to be 5 months pregnant. The boy, Saeed Ansari, had been in contact with the girl for 5 years and had planned to marry her via affidavit in court. Following objections from Hindu organisations, the police took both the boy and the girl into custody. Upon investigation, the girl's documents confirmed she was a minor, leading the police to file charges under sections of rape and the POCSO Act. The boy had paid ₹10,000 to the girl's father as part of marriage negotiations, but her uncle disapproved. The accused, Saeed, claimed he genuinely loved the girl and intended to marry her. Meanwhile, Jai Gopal Agarwal, President of the Rajpur Advocate Association, called it a case of love jihad.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, the victim was a minor, which means the element of consent was missing ab initio. Minors, due to their young age and lack of maturity, are particularly vulnerable to manipulation and coercion. They may not have the ability to fully understand the implications of either converting to another religion or getting into a consensual relationship. However, from the details of the case, it would appear that the Muslim boy was the Hindu minor were planning to get married by giving the court an affidavit. Therefore, while suspicions are there, it is possible that the case is not driven by religious animosity. The Muslim perpetrator has committed as crime as per POCSO, however, there is not enough information to term this a religiously motivated hate crime. For that reason, this case is being added to the undecided database. If more information emerges, it would be added to the hate crime database.
