Case Summary
An English teacher named Mohammed Ishtiyaq Ahmed, who worked at a government school in Rohtas, Bihar, has been accused of sexually harassing minor Hindu girls, including a girl from Class 2 and 3. One of the students disclosed that the teacher inappropriately touched them and used to ask them to say "I love you" if they made any mistakes. He promised not to punish them if they complied. The student also reported that Mohammed Ishtiyaq Ahmed used to ask older girls to kiss him. A video of the Hindu girl's confession was shared on X by Radhramn Das, the Vice President and Spokesperson of ISKCON Kolkata. Angry parents confronted Ahmed at the school, which resulted in his arrest.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, minor Hindu girls were systematically sexually harassed by a Muslim teacher who inappropriately touched them and asked them to kiss him. From the details available, it is highly suspected that the Hindu children were targeted owing to their religious identity. It is also entirely possible that the crime was one of opportunity - where the children were simply accessible to the perpetrator. However, there is a slip side to the argument - for a Muslim perpetrator, a Muslim child would be far more accessible than a Hindu child. The fact that the perpetrator specifically targeted the Hindu children could point towards the religious profiling of the victim. However, this is only in the realm of speculation since the case details make no indications of the religious motivations of the perpetrator. For that reason, this case is being added to the 'Undecided' database. If more information emerges, it will be added to the Hate Crime database.
