14-year-old Hindu girl raped by Muslim man in Yamunanagar, Haryana
Yamunanagar, Haryana, India 
19 November, 2025
Case Summary
A minor Hindu girl was raped in Yamunanagar, Haryana, when a man named Rizwan seized an opportunity to isolate her during the afternoon of 10 November 2025. She had stepped out of her home in their Jathlana village for routine work when he drew her away from the public path and brought her to a shed within the area. He raped her there and then threatened to kill her and her family if she revealed what he had done. The girl, who was 14 years old, later told her mother about the assault, after which the family went to the police. Officers at the Jathlana police station recorded her statement and registered a case under the POCSO Act, treating the matter as a grave offence linked to targeting a Hindu woman. An investigation then began to determine the full sequence of events and gather evidence related to the crime.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a 14-year-old minor Hindu girl was sexually assaulted by a Muslim man. This could potentially be a crime motivated by religious profiling, as it has been observed that in many cases, Muslim perpetrators target Hindu minor girls due to inherent animosity towards Hindus and minors being more vulnerable. Hindu girls are very vulnerable to crimes like rape and sexual assault at the hands of Muslim men. However, it is also possible that the crime was one of opportunity, where the minor Hindu girl was simply accessible to the Muslim perpetrator. Meanwhile, it could also be argued that for a Muslim man, a Muslim girl would likely be more accessible than a Hindu girl. The fact that the perpetrator specifically targeted a Hindu girl could suggest religious bias. Nevertheless, this remains highly speculative, as the case details provide no clear indication of religious motivations. Furthermore, neither the victim nor her parents made any statements suggesting a religious motive behind the crime. For this reason, the case has been added to the 'Undecided' database. If further information emerges that points towards a religious motivation behind this crime, it would then be reclassified and included in the hate crime database.
