Why it is Hate Crime ?
There is a strong suspicion in this case that the motivating factor for the murder of the Hindu worker by the Muslim perpetrator was religious in nature. The suspicions grow stronger because the crime occurred while the Hindu man was decorating the factory for Diwali - a major Hindu religious festival. The details of the report reveals that there was an argument before the Muslim perpetrator dragged the Hindu victim and threw him off the roof. In many cases, the immediate trigger of the violence may appear petty, however, the rage is driven by religious animosity and supremacist ideology. However, since there is a lack of information to substantiate the suspicion, this case is being added to the undecided database.
