Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a woman was abducted, raped, and threatened by Muslim perpetrators. It has often been seen that Muslim perpetrators target Hindu women owing to intrinsic animosity towards Hindus, specifically Hindu women. However, due to the lack of concrete indication of a religious motive, this case is being categorized as 'undecided'. If more details emerge, it would be added to the hate crime database.
