Case Summary

Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta, the petitioner in the disputed Ajmer Dargah case, narrowly escaped an attack on January 25, 2025. According to the police, Gupta was on his way back to Delhi when two assailants on a motorcycle opened fire on his car near the Ladpura culvert. Following the attack, the assailants fled the scene. Upon receiving information about the incident, senior officials, including Ajmer Superintendent of Police Vandita Rana, arrived at the spot. Neither Vishnu Gupta nor his driver sustained any injuries in the attack. Gupta alleged that the attack was an attempt to intimidate him, but he remains undeterred. He had previously filed a court application asserting that the Ajmer Dargah was originally a Shiva temple, a claim that has drawn threats against him on multiple occasions. Gupta lodged complaints about these threats in the past.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

It can be inferred that the Hindu leader, Vishnu Gupta, was targeted for advocating Hindu rights and working towards the reclamation of Hindu temples. Gupta himself has stated that he has been receiving threats, possibly linked to his efforts. However, as there is no concrete evidence yet to establish whether the attack was directly related to his work for Hindus, this case is currently being categorized as "Undecided" in the tracker. Once additional details and evidence emerge, the incident can be reclassified under the appropriate category.
