Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, the details indicate that the couple was harassed by Muslim perpetrators while they were returning from a Garba event. It is also indicated that the tensions escalated and led to unrest near Jama Masjid, indicating that it could possibly be a Muslim-dominated area where the Hindu couple was attacked because of their religious identity. While it is possible that the Hindu couple was identified as Hindu because of their attire (since they were returning from a Garba event), there are no indications in the report itself to conclude that this a religiously motivated hate crime. For that reason, this case is being added to undecided database. If more details emerge, it would be added to the hate crime database.
