Case Summary
In the Kho-Nagoriyan police station area in Jaipur, a minor drainage water dispute between a Hindu man and his Muslim neighbours escalated into a communal clash. The Hindu man was Kamlesh Prajapati and his Muslim neighbour was Shanu Khan. The dispute arose when Kamlesh objected to dirty water flowing out of Shanu's house and collecting in front of his home. When Kamlesh complained, Shanu and his family became angry. It led to a verbal altercation between the two. The situation quickly escalated into a physical fight, with Shanu and his family members attacking Kamlesh, triggering communal tensions in the area. The police were informed, and they promptly arrived at the scene to prevent the situation from worsening. They arrested nine members of Shanu Khan's family and assured that a thorough investigation would be conducted in this case.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
Often, aggression against Hindus by Islamists starts as minor and innocuous fights. In this case, it started over a minor conflict between the Hindu man and the Muslim accused. But it soon escalated, leading to physical assault. The assault became so severe that the Hindu victim was left injured. However, in this specific case, there is no reported indication of the crime being a religiously motivated one. Therefore, it is being categorised as undecided. If more details emerge, it will be added to the hate crime database.
