Case Summary
In Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, a Hindu girl was raped and molested by Muslim men. The incident occurred in Daloda, Mandsaur district, where the accused blackmailed the Hindu girl and called her to meet privately. The girl was slapped and then beaten with a belt. Hindu organisation workers discovered the incident and nabbed three of the accused, but two managed to escape. The police filed a case against the five accused, including the main minor, who raped the girl. The victim reported that she had been raped by the same accused on 11 February 2022 as well.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a Hindu minor girl was raped by Muslim men. This could potentially be a crime motivated by religious profiling, as it has been observed that in many cases, Muslim perpetrators target Hindu women and minor girls due to inherent animosity towards Hindus. Hindu women and girls are very vulnerable to crimes like rape and sexual assault at the hands of Muslim men. However, it is also possible that the crime was one of opportunity, where the Hindu girl was simply accessible to the Muslim perpetrator. Meanwhile, it could also be argued that for a Muslim perpetrator, a Muslim girl would likely be more accessible than a Hindu girl. The fact that the perpetrator specifically targeted the Hindu girl could suggest religious profiling of the victim. Nevertheless, this remains speculative, as the case details provide no clear indication of religious motivations. Furthermore, neither the victim nor her family made any statements suggesting a religious motive behind the crime. For this reason, this case has been added to the 'Undecided' database. If further information emerges that hints towards a religious motivation behind this crime, then it would be reclassified and included under the Hate Crime database.
