Hindu girl lured to elope by Muslim man in Rajasthan

Case Summary
In the Rajsamand area of Rajasthan, a Hindu girl was lured by a Muslim man who persuaded her to flee from her home, sparking significant unrest among the members of the local Hindu community. According to media reports, the incident caused a lot of commotion. This prompted members of the Sarva Hindu Samaj to gather near Kishornagar. From there, the group marched to the Collectorate via the Tehsil Office and the District Council. The Sarva Hindu Samaj raised slogans along the way. Outside the Collectorate, members of the Sarva Hindu Samaj staged a strong protest against this incident. They even submitted a memorandum to the Collector, expressing concern that such cases occurred on a regular basis. The memorandum stated that young Muslim men were targeting Hindu girls through ‘love traps’ and called on authorities to identify such individuals and take preventative action. The memorandum further stated that the accused was involved in illegal land occupation and unlawful business activities, urging police and administrative intervention. It specifically named a Muslim man, Mohid Khan alias Fugga, along with his accomplices Iklesh, Mahir, and others, as part of an illegal gang operating in the city. According to the memorandum, this gang was involved in the illicit drug trading and illegal fishing in the Rajsamand Lake. It also said that the gang had illegally occupied government land in areas such as Sanwad, Bagpura, Jalchakki, and Kelwa. The document accused the administration of inaction, contributing to an atmosphere of fear among the local Hindu population.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a Hindu girl was lured by a Muslim man into eloping with him. Local Hindus, in the memorandum submitted to the Collectorate, specified that young Muslim men were targeting Hindu girls through ‘love traps’. They confirmed that a Muslim gang was operating in the area, targeting Hindu girls and indulging in other illicit activities. This raises suspicion that the victim may have been religiously profiled before being targeted. Further, the possibility that the girl was brainwashed into leaving with the accused cannot be ruled out. However, there is no conclusive evidence to substantiate claims of coercion or forced conversion. Another uncertainty in this case is the age of the victim, which isn't clear. Without this information, it is unclear whether she was a minor or an adult at the time of the incident. If the girl is a minor, concerns arise about whether she was capable of giving informed consent or was she manipulated into fleeing with the accused. However, if the victim is an adult, she is presumed to have the legal agency to form relationships and elope of her own accord. Also, another point to be highlighted is that the girl has not issued any statement on this matter herself. Also, there is no substantive evidence to suggest that she was misled or abducted against her will. As a result, the case remains in the 'undecided' category until further details emerge. If further information comes to light that there is evidence of coercion, exploitation, or religious targeting, then this case will be reclassified and included in the Hinduphobia tracker database.
