Case Summary
A minor Dalit Hindu girl was lured, kidnapped and raped by two Muslim men named Rehan Khan and Imran Ali. According to media reports, the minor was lured on social media by the two accused. The accused first befriended the minor girl and then lured her. Later, both accused kidnapped and raped her. The girl's father, Deepak Kumar, searched for her but failed to find her. He suspected that she might have been kidnapped and therefore he immediately registered a police report. A case was filed, and the police searched for the kidnappers. They eventually managed to find the victim. The officer in charge of Pushkar police station investigated the case, and the victim's statement was recorded. In her statement, the victim said that Rehan and Imran had lured her away and then she was raped by both the accused. The victim was then sent for a medical examination. The police registered a case under sections 137(2), 127(2), 64(1), 65(1), 70(2), BNS, 5G/6, 11(4)/12, POCSO Act and 3(1)(w), 3(2) (v), 3(2), and the SC/ST Act. The investigation of the case was passed on to Deputy Superintendent Ramchandra Chaudhary. The police then arrested the accused, Rehan Khan and Imran Ali. The Assistant Superintendent of Police said that the investigation done in the case revealed that the accused had their own mobile phones, but the minor girl did not have one. She had an Instagram account, which she managed using her father's mobile. She also came into contact with the accused on Instagram. Initially, the accused befriended the girl. Then she was lured, kidnapped and raped.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
Since the victim in this case is a minor, there is a strong suspicion that grooming may have been involved. Grooming is a well-documented phenomenon in which Muslim men deliberately target minor non-Muslim girls for sexual exploitation, abuse, and rape, often with the intent of coercing them into conversion or long-term subjugation. Given this context, the fact that the accused lured the Hindu minor raises serious concerns. However, while the victim has explicitly accused the perpetrator of deception and entrapment, there is no concrete evidence at this stage to confirm that religious animosity or a conversion agenda was a motivating factor behind the crime. Key indicators such as forced religious conversion or religious coercion are absent from the available information. For these reasons, this case has been added to the 'Undecided' database. Should further details emerge that establish a clear religious motive—such as attempts to forcibly convert the victim or specific targeting of her Hindu identity—it will be reclassified as a religiously motivated hate crime.
