Case Summary

Ayan Khan harassed a Hindu woman in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Ayan and the woman were colleagues in a private company, where he repeatedly harassed her, leading the woman to leave her job and join another company. Despite this, Khan continued to follow and trouble her. The harassment escalated when Khan molested the woman while she was returning home from work. Feeling unsafe, she sought help from the Hindu Jagran Manch and approached the Vijay Nagar police station with their support. Based on her complaint, the police registered a case against Ayan Khan under charges of molestation and intimidation. Khan was arrested, and an investigation was initiated. The police assured a thorough inquiry into the matter.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

In this case, there is a strong suspicion that the victim was profiled based on her religious identity. The perpetrator pursued the Hindu woman and continued to harass her even after she left her job and joined another company. In many such cases, the victims are profiled based on religious identity and then pursued. Further, the dehumanisation of Hindu women in a doctrinal and scriptural sense makes it far easier for Muslim extremists to target Hindu women. However, there is also a possibility that the woman was harassed as a crime of opportunity and no religious motive existed. This case is being added to the undecided database due to the lack of more information. The case would be added to the hate crime database if more information emerges.
