Hindu woman goes missing, family accuses Muslim man of luring her away
Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India 
19 March, 2025
Case Summary
In Indore, on 20th March, Mohammad Saif (27), son of Shabbir Hassan from Uttar Pradesh, allegedly lured a 20-year-old Hindu girl from Dwarakapuri, Indore, and both fled together. The girl’s family filed a police complaint, accusing Saif of deception and coercion. Despite the complaint, the police were unable to trace either the boy or the girl even after 11 days, leading to growing concerns. In response to the police inaction, Hindu organisations staged protests, demanding urgent intervention. Meanwhile, a news report revealed that the girl had sent a live-in certificate registered in Mumbai, further complicating the case. The incident sparked outrage among the local community, with calls for stricter measures to prevent such occurrences.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, the possibility that the woman was brainwashed into leaving with the accused cannot be ruled out, particularly given that the family testified that a Muslim man lured the woman away. However, there is no conclusive evidence to substantiate claims of coercion or forced conversion, especially since the woman is an adult and her statement has not been recorded. The absence of her perspective makes it difficult to definitively categorise the incident as a case of coercion or predatory proselytisation. Given these uncertainties, the case has been added as "undecided". Should additional evidence or the woman’s testimony emerge, the categorisation may be revised to reflect the new information accurately.
