On August 7, 2025, the girl was travelling towards Gumasta Nagar when the accused stalked her for several kilometres. When the girl objected to it, he forcibly gave his mobile number to the girl.

Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a Hindu girl was stalked and harassed by a Muslim man. This incident could potentially constitute a crime motivated by religious profiling, as there have been several such instances in which the Muslim perpetrators target Hindu women and girls due to underlying animosity towards Hindus, particularly Hindu women. Hindu women and girls are especially vulnerable to crimes such as rape and sexual assault perpetrated by Muslim men. The repeated targeting of the Hindu girl in this case may suggest a religious motive. However, it is also possible that the crime was opportunistic, with the Hindu girl being more accessible to the perpetrator. Conversely, one might argue that a Muslim girl would generally be more accessible to a Muslim perpetrator than a Hindu girl, making the repeated targeting of this particular victim indicative of religious profiling. Nevertheless, all this remains highly speculative, as the available details do not provide clear evidence of religious motivation. Furthermore, the victim also have not made any statements indicating a religious motive behind the crime. For this reason, the case has been recorded in the 'Undecided' database. If further information emerges indicating a religious motivation behind the crime, then it will be reclassified and included in the Hate Crime database.
