Hindu toddler killed after days of assault by Muslim stepfather in Raipur’s Kabir Nagar
Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India 
17 November, 2025
Case Summary
A Hindu child was murdered in Kabir Nagar, Raipur, after facing repeated assaults from his stepfather. Two and a half year old Prashant Sen was found unconscious outside his home on 18 November 2025 and was taken to the hospital by villagers, but the doctors could not save him. Medical examination showed severe internal injuries, multiple fractures and deep wounds. The post-mortem report confirmed that his death was unnatural and caused by sustained physical abuse. According to villagers, the stepfather, Asib Khan, had been beating the child for 15 to 20 days. The mother, Reshmi Tamrakar, hid the violence by claiming the child had fallen or was ill. Police later confirmed that the mother supported the stepfather instead of protecting the boy. Both the stepfather and the mother were arrested after the investigation established continuous assault leading to the child’s death.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been added to the Undecided database because, although a Hindu child was killed and the accused stepfather belongs to another religious community, there is no clear evidence yet that the violence was driven by the child’s Hindu identity. The religious background of both parties is an important marker and cannot be dismissed, especially given the pattern of hostility Hindu families sometimes face in mixed-religion households. However, the material reported so far points to sustained domestic abuse without any explicit indication of a religious motive. The child’s age makes it impossible to know whether any threats or remarks tied to his Hindu identity were made. Police findings confirm repeated assault over many days, and they do not deny behaviour showing targeted anti-Hindu intent. Because Hinduphobia Tracker requires direct indicators before classifying a case as a hate crime, the absence of such evidence places this incident in the Undecided category. If further investigation reveals hostility linked to the child’s Hindu identity, it will be reclassified accordingly.
