Case Summary
In the village of Basera in the Chhapar police station area, a Hindu girl was lured and abducted by a youth from another community. The girl's mother filed a written complaint against the accused at the police station, after which a case was registered. According to available information, the girl from Basera village suddenly went missing. Her mother informed the police that a young man from the village, belonging to another community, had been harassing her daughter for a long time. When they tried to confront him, he issued death threats. According to the victim's mother, the same youth lured her daughter and took her away. She suspected that her daughter could be in danger. At the time of writing this report, the police were conducting raids at several locations in search of the accused youth. The police stated that, considering the seriousness of the case, swift action would be taken, and efforts were underway to recover the girl safely.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a Hindu girl was lured away by a youth from another community. The case potentially reflects religious profiling, as several past instances have demonstrated a recurring pattern in which perpetrators have targeted Hindu women with coercion, deception, or force, often with the intention of conversion. However, due to the lack of direct evidence at present confirming a religious motive in this specific instance, the case is currently listed under the 'Undecided' category in the Hinduphobia tracker. Further uncertainty surrounds the age of the victim, which remains unverified. If the woman is a minor, serious concerns would arise about her ability to give informed consent, especially if coercion or manipulation were involved. Conversely, if she is an adult, legal autonomy must be considered in evaluating whether the incident involved abduction or consensual elopement. It is also important to note that the victim has not issued any statement regarding the matter. In the absence of her testimony or further concrete evidence, such as proof of coercion, force, or religious targeting, the case will remain in the ‘Undecided’ category. It may be reclassified if future details substantiate a clear hate crime or religiously motivated offence. Disclaimer: It is important to clarify that the report does not specify the exact date when the girl's ordeal began, but it mentions that the accused lured her away on 9th June, 2025. Since this is the earliest date mentioned, we are considering this as when the victim's ordeal began and using this as the incident date.
