Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India 
12 May, 2024
Case Summary
A case of molestation came up in Kaushamb, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, where 20-year-old Suleman attempted to rape a minor Hindu girl by locking her inside a room with him. The victim's family, which relies on a grocery shop, filed a complaint with the police on March 10, 2024. The girl had reported the abuse to her family, but they initially did not believe it. On March 9, Suleman locked the girl in his room, and when the girl returned, she was found crying and misbehaving. Following this, a complaint was filed and the accused was arrested by police.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In many cases, it has been documented that the Muslim perpetrator targets a minor Hindu girl based on her religious identity and owing to his inherent animosity towards Hindu faith and those who espouse it. In this case, however, there is no indication, either by the family or the victim, that religious animosity was a motivating factor in the crime. This case is therefore being categorised as undecided. If more information emerges, it would be added to the hate crime database.
