Adnan lures minor tribal girl in relationship, attempts to push her into prostitution
Jharkhand, India 
27 October, 2024
Case Summary
In Jharkhand, a minor tribal girl was lured into a relationship by a Muslim man named Adnan via Instagram. He later took her to Delhi, where he reportedly planned to force her into prostitution. However, due to the prompt actions of the police and her family, Adnan’s plan was foiled at the last moment, leading to his arrest. Following the incident, BJP state president Babulal Marandi expressed concern on social media, stating that cases of "love jihad," where Hindu and tribal girls are reportedly deceived into relationships and conversion, are on the rise in Jharkhand.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, the minor was lured via Instagram by the Muslim perpetrator with the purpose of exploiting her and pushing her into prostitution. With the available details, it is difficult to establish the religious motive of the crime. It is unclear if the minor was targeted specifically because of her religious identity or was it a crime of opportunity by a cartel. The statement of the BJP leader is not being considered for the purpose of determining the religious nature of the crime because the leader has no agency, unlike the girl's family, to attest to the circumstances and facts of the case. For that reason, this case is being added to 'undecided'. If more information emerges, it would be added to the hate crime database.
