15-year-old minor girl kidnapped and impregnated by a Muslim man

Case Summary
In Delhi, a 15-year-old minor girl was abducted by a Muslim man named Anees Khan. The missing girl was successfully rescued from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, by Delhi Police after an extensive investigation. The case was reported on February 18, 2025, when the girl went missing from the Geeta Colony area. Anees Khan, a married man and local patty vendor, was found to have lured the minor and fled with her, leaving behind his pregnant wife and child. Despite initial challenges in tracing their whereabouts, the investigation progressed through analysis of social media activity, particularly Instagram, which eventually led the police to Gwalior. On May 3, 2025, the Delhi Police conducted a raid at Malghada Chowk in Gwalior and successfully rescued the missing girl. It was discovered that she was two months pregnant and had been kept in isolation, with no access to communication. Anees Khan was arrested on the spot, and the girl was reunited with her family following the completion of necessary legal procedures.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been added to the 'Undecided' database due to the absence of any explicit religious motive behind the crime. The modus operandi of the accused, Anees Khan, a married Muslim man who lured and abducted a 15-year-old girl, closely mirrors a recurring pattern observed in cases of predatory proselytisation. In numerous documented instances, minor Hindu girls have been groomed, emotionally manipulated, deceived, and cut off from their families by Muslim men. Grooming is a phenomenon where Muslim men specifically target minor non-Muslim girls for sexual exploitation, abuse, rape and/or religious conversion. However, since there is no specific evidence of a pattern of victimisation of Hindu minors by the perpetrator and no indication from the parents of the minor that she was targeted for her religious identity, this case is being categorised as 'undecided'. If more information emerges, it will be added to the hate crime database.
