Case Summary

In Guwahati, Assam, a Hindu girl was deceived into a relationship and exploited by a Muslim man named Abdul Basid, who posed as a Hindu. The Hindu girl, originally a resident of the Chaygaon area in Kamrup district, had moved to Guwahati with the hope of a better future and was living in a rented house in the Chandmari locality. The accused, who was a police constable in the Assam police, befriended the Hindu victim under a fake Hindu name. The accused also concealed his religious identity, marital status, and profession in order to sustain a relationship with the Hindu girl. The accused then exploited her trust and lured the victim into eloping with him. Following her sudden disappearance, the victim’s family filed a missing person complaint at the Chandmari Police Station. Although it was first suspected to be a case of elopement, investigations later uncovered that it was a premeditated crime and part of a larger conspiracy. The accused had feigned his religious identity to trap the Hindu victim. The fact that he was already married and had a daughter was also deliberately concealed from the victim. As of the date of writing this report, the accused was arrested by police, and the victim was rescued. Investigation also revealed that Basid had intentions of committing a more serious crime under the guise of this fabricated relationship.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

This case has been added to the tracker under the primary category- Crimes against women in relationships and other sexual crimes. The subcategory selected is- Man pretends to be Hindu. The tertiary category selected is- Name Changed. When a non-Hindu man pretends to be a Hindu to deceive a Hindu woman into a relationship, the act is seen as triggered by malafide intentions. In some cases, the woman eventually accepts the man’s original religious identity and converts after the man’s identity is revealed. These cases could be argued as cases of religious brainwashing and a result of the pressure a woman feels after getting into a relationship with a man. The woman, it can be argued, also changed her religious identity because of the stigma she believes she might face if she chooses to walk out of a deceptive relationship. However, for the purpose of documenting hate crimes, the cases in this subcategory are limited to those where there is explicit violence aimed at religious conversion against the wishes of the victim (force-feeding beef, blackmailing with intimate videos, rape on refusal to convert, etc), or if the woman herself complains of the man’s religious deception. In such cases, it is established that the deception of the non-Hindu man had a specific aim of religious conversion or targeting of the victim due to her Hindu religious identity, therefore, making it a religiously motivated hate crime. This case has been added to the tracker because a Hindu girl was deceived into a relationship and exploited by a Muslim man, who faked a Hindu identity to lure the victim. By using this fabricated identity, he deceived the girl into eloping with him. The accused deliberately concealed his religious identity to initiate and sustain a relationship with a Hindu girl. This itself is a clear manifestation of bias and malicious intent towards the victim's religion. By concealing his true identity, he exploited her trust, targeting her under false pretences. This indicates a premeditated intent to manipulate her based on her religious background. In cases like these, the tactic of adopting a false Hindu identity to manipulate and "ensnare" a Hindu individual is not just an act of personal betrayal but can also be interpreted as an expression of disdain or disregard for Hinduism and its customs that reflects a deeper animosity towards Hindus and their beliefs. Disclaimer: It is important to clarify that the report does not specify the exact date when the victim's ordeal began or when she came into contact with the accused. Therefore, for documentation purposes, we are considering the date of the incident as August 4, 2025: the day on which the accused was arrested.
