Delhi, Delhi, India 
7 June, 2025
Case Summary
Two minor Hindu girls from Delhi were lured by two Muslim men under the pretext of sightseeing and taken to Haridwar, where they were rescued by the police. The minor Hindu girls, who are sisters, were seen roaming suspiciously at the Haridwar railway station with the company of two men. There was increased security at the railway station due to the ongoing Chardham Yatra. Based on suspicion, the railway police approached them, and they failed to provide any satisfactory answer during initial questioning. Upon further inquiry, it was found that the minor girls are residents of Delhi, and the two Muslim men had lured and brought the girls from Delhi to Haridwar under the pretext of sightseeing. Investigation revealed they the Hindu girls were kidnapped from Delhi, and there was also a case registered by the girls' parents at the Chhawala police station in Delhi. As of the date of writing this report, the girls were rescued and handed over to their parents, while the two accused were arrested for further questioning. It is important to note that, according to a report by Dainik Jagran, only one of the sisters is identified as a minor, while other reports confirm that both girls are minors. Hence, both are being treated as minors.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, two minor Hindu girls were lured away by two Muslim youths. The case potentially reflects religious profiling, as several past instances have demonstrated a recurring pattern in which perpetrators have targeted Hindu women with coercion, deception, or force, often with the intention of conversion. However, due to the lack of direct evidence at present confirming a religious motive in this specific instance, the case is currently listed under the 'Undecided' category in the Hinduphobia tracker. It is also important to note that the victims or their family have not issued any statement regarding the matter. In the absence of her testimony or further concrete evidence, such as proof of coercion, force, or religious targeting, the case will remain in the ‘Undecided’ category. It may be reclassified if future details substantiate a clear hate crime or religiously motivated offence. Disclaimer: It is important to clarify that the report does not specify the exact date when the girl's ordeal began. Therefore, for documentation purposes, we have recorded the date based on when the incident was reported in the media.
