Case Summary
In Uttar Pradesh’s Noida, a Muslim woman named Nagma Khan alias Roshni has been accused of converting a Hindu youth Gaurav Kumar to Islam. In an interview with OpIndia, Gaurav Kumar’s father Mukesh Kumar that his son Gaurav was a boxing coach and used to be a very religious person. He said that Gaurav used to be a devotee of Lord Shiva and would carry Kanwar to Haridwar during the holy month of Saawan. However, after meeting Nagma, Gaurav’s religious beliefs began to shift. He also started distancing himself from his family. Mukesh said that his 22-year-old son began teaching boxing to children in Noida parks for self-defence to help with family expenses. Many parents began sending their children to his self-defence classes. One of them was Nagma Khan whose seven-year-old son used to accompany her to Gaurav’s boxing classes. Nagma gradually ensnared Gaurav. Mukesh Kumar said that Gaurav started offering namaz in his house and wearing Islamic attire. It was only when Mukesh confronted Gaurav over his changed attitude and religious beliefs that he learned about Nagma Khan. Mukesh Kumar told OpIndia that his son is not the only Hindu boy trapped by accused Nagma Khan alias Roshni adding that she had lured several other Hindu youths into converting to Islam. Kumar went on to say that when confronted Nagma Khan to bring his son back, the accused woman started threatening him. Mukesh Kumar in August this year submitted a complaint to CM Yogi Adityanath saying that Nagma Khan is tormenting and pressuring his son to perform Nikah. In his complaint, Mukesh Kumar alleged that Nagma Khan threatened to get his family killed saying that her brother Azad Khan is a dreaded goon. He also stressed that there is a threat to his son Gaurav’s life from Nagma.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, there is a strong suspicion that the man was coerced and/or threatened and/or brainwashed into accepting Islam as hinted by the father of the victim. Further, the suspicion gathers credence because the father has also alleged that this has happened to several other Hindus. However, because the man was an adult and there is no other indication of forced conversion other than the version of the father, this is being categorised as 'undecided'. If more information emerges, it would be added to the hate crime database.
