Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh, India 
10 October, 2025
Case Summary
A Hindu woman was lured into a relationship by an already married Muslim man in Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh. The accused, Amjad Khan, had kept the victim in a live-in relationship for a long time under the pretence of marriage, while concealing the fact that he was already married. According to media reports, Amjad Khan was already married, but he hid this fact from the victim and deceived her. When the young woman got pregnant and eventually discovered the truth, she was beaten up by the accused's family. Later, she filed a complaint at the Women's Police Station in Ambikapur. Based on the complaint, the police filed an FIR against the accused under charges of fraud and relevant sections of the law. The police have arrested Amjad Khan and are currently investigating the case.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a Hindu woman was lured into a relationship on the pretext of marriage, impregnated, and assaulted by an already married Muslim man. This case could potentially have been an instance of religious profiling of the Hindu victim, where she was targeted for her religious identity before being gang-raped and killed. This possibility arises because there have been multiple cases in which Hindu women and girls were targeted by Muslim men for sexual exploitation or forced conversions. The targeting of the Hindu victim in this case could be driven by deep-seated religious animosity. If the Muslim perpetrators had simply sought sexual relationships, Muslim women would have been more readily available to them than a Hindu woman. The fact that the perpetrators deliberately targeted a Hindu woman could suggest religious profiling of the victim. However, it is equally possible that the crime was committed out of opportunity rather than outright religious animosity. At present, any form of religious motivation behind the crime remains unclear. The victim has not stated that there was any forced religious conversion or profiling of her based on her Hindu identity. Therefore, this case had been placed under the "Undecided" database. If further information emerges indicating that the crime was motivated by religious animosity, the case would be reassessed and entered into the hate crime database of the Hinduphobia Tracker. Disclaimer: The Hinduphobia Tracker records incidents based on when an event occurred or when the victim's ordeal began. It is important to clarify that none of the media sources covering this case has specified the exact date when the relationship began. Therefore, for documentation purposes, we have recorded the date based on when the incident was reported in the media: 11 October 2025. Disclaimer: The report states that the victim was beaten up by the accused's family members, but doesn't provide the exact number of people involved in the assault. Hence, for this instance, a single perpetrator count has been recorded.
