Alwar, Rajasthan, India

Case Summary
In Rajasthan’s Alwar district, a Hindu postgraduate student was deceived and trapped by a Muslim man who hid his identity. According to her, Aziz introduced himself as Rahul, a Hindu, and slowly drew her into a relationship while staying in touch with her for nearly three years through Instagram. As their closeness increased, she says he began pressuring her, even threatening suicide, and ultimately took her to Delhi, where he carried out a court marriage with her. The young woman later discovered, almost two years after the marriage, that her husband’s real name was Aziz, that he belonged to the Muslim community, and that he was already married with a daughter. Her shock deepened when Aziz brought his first wife home. When the victim objected, she said she was assaulted. Feeling trapped and betrayed, she approached the police and filed a complaint. As soon as the matter became known, former MLA Banwari Lal Singhal, BJP officials, and several social workers reached the police station and demanded strict action against Aziz. Police registered a case and began investigating. Singhal stated that he had spoken to the station in charge and had been assured of impartial and firm action, adding that the guilty would not be spared and legal steps would follow. However, the situation changed late in the night when the young woman submitted a written statement saying she did not want further action and that the matter had been settled mutually.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been added to the tracker under the category- Crimes against women in relationships and other sexual crimes. Under this, the subcategory selected is- Man pretends to be Hindu, and the tertiary category selected 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 accused, a Muslim man, deliberately concealed his religious identity and introduced himself as a Hindu named Rahul in order to deceive the Hindu girl and draw her into a relationship. This identity fraud was not accidental but a calculated act meant to exploit her trust and bypass the boundaries she would have maintained had she known his real background. By hiding that he was Aziz, already married, and a father, he manipulated her under false pretences and targeted her specifically because she was Hindu, making the deception itself an act rooted in religious bias. The coercion intensified when he pressured her by threatening suicide and then took her to Delhi for a court marriage, binding her into a legally recognised relationship before she had any chance to uncover the truth. This use of marriage as a tool of entrapment is a recurring pattern in such cases, where the victim is locked into a committed relationship before the deception is revealed, making escape and social recovery far more difficult. When the truth finally came out almost two years later, the accused’s response turned violent. Bringing his other wife home and assaulting the victim when she objected demonstrates a clear punitive reaction meant to silence her resistance. The shift from deception to intimidation mirrors a well-known pattern in which Hindu women who discover such hidden identities face harassment, coercion, or violence when they refuse to comply with the perpetrator’s demands. The deliberate identity concealment, the manipulation through a coerced court marriage, and the subsequent violence collectively point to a religiously motivated targeting. The accused clearly understood that a Hindu woman would not accept a relationship or marriage with him if he revealed his true identity at the outset, and he circumvented this entirely by lying. This is not simply personal deceit but a strategic act that fits into a broader pattern where Hindu women are selectively singled out through false identities, often leading to coercion, abuse, or forced accommodation into a relationship tied to the perpetrator’s religious background. This case is therefore included in the tracker because it reflects a clear instance of religiously motivated deception and exploitation, where the victim was targeted explicitly as a Hindu, misled into marriage under fabricated credentials, and subjected to violence once the truth surfaced.
