7-year-old Hindu girl abducted and raped by Muslim man

Case Summary
A seven-year-old Hindu girl was reportedly abducted and raped in Ramnagar's Badhiya area by Faruk Kazi. A formal complaint was filed, prompting local Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and workers to organize a protest. They demanded the immediate arrest of Kazi, seeking justice for the young victim. The incident gained further attention due to an alleged connection between the accused and local politics. Faruk Kazi was reportedly related to TMC leader Khalek Kazi. Following the complaint and protests, authorities initiated a search for Faruk Kazi. At the time of reporting, he remained absconding.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
Since the victim in this case is a minor, there is a strong suspicion of grooming involved. Grooming is a phenomenon where Muslim men specifically target minor non-Muslim girls for sexual exploitation, abuse and rape. However, since there is no specific evidence of a pattern of victimization of Hindu minors by the perpetrator and no indication from the parents of the minor that she was targeted for her religious identity, this case is being categorized as 'undecided'. If more information emerges, it will be added to the hate crime database.
