Case Summary
On 26th September, a woman from Dehradun, Uttarakhand, filed a complaint at Raipur police station against Shahzad, who had lured her 30-year-old divorced daughter, a mother of two, by posing as Monu Choudhary. According to the complaint, the woman and her daughters had been living with her parents. During the lockdown, she met Shahzad, originally from Delhi, who introduced himself as Monu and convinced her into a relationship. Despite discovering his real identity, the woman insisted on marrying Shahzad. When her mother tried to stop her, she left home to live with him, even taking a bike and leaving her daughters behind. The complainant expressed concern that her daughter had been brainwashed by Shahzad and pleaded with authorities to find her and punish him.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, there is an element of a hate crime given that the Muslim pretended to be a Hindu. However, according to the details available, the adult Hindu woman made a choice to continue her relationship with the man even after discovering his real identity. Adult women have the agency to decide their life partners and hence, despite the complaint of the mother of the woman, this case is being categorised as 'undecided'. If more information emerges, it will be added to the hate crime database.
