27 May, 2025
Case Summary
A 14-year-old Hindu girl from Rudrapur, Uttarakhand, was lured away by a Muslim man named Nazim. Reports state that Nazim, originally a resident of Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh, lured the girl and then persuaded her to elope with him. A Hindu organisation called the Yogi Sena was informed of the incident. They reported it to the police and requested that the girl be recovered and the accused be arrested. Recognising the sensitivity of the case, the police acted swiftly, registered a case against the accused, and launched an investigation. The police arrested Nazim and safely recovered the minor girl, who was then returned to her family. She was sent for a medical examination. The police stated that the accused would be charged under various sections, depending on the results of the medical examination of the minor girl. They assured that Nazim would be presented in court for further legal proceedings.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, a minor Hindu girl was lured and abducted by a Muslim man. This could potentially be a crime motivated by religious profiling, as it has been observed that in many cases, Muslim perpetrators target Hindu girls due to inherent animosity towards Hindus, particularly minor Hindu girls. It could also be argued that for a Muslim perpetrator, a Muslim girl would likely be more accessible than a Hindu girl. The fact that the perpetrator specifically targeted the Hindu girl suggests religious profiling of the victim. However, it is equally possible that the crime was one of opportunity, where the Hindu girl was simply accessible to the Muslim perpetrator. It is also important to note here that the victim in this case is a minor, thus making any supposed "consent" from her side legally invalid under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Nevertheless, this remains speculative, as the news report, as of now, provides no clear indication of religious motivations. Moreover, the victim's family hasn't made any statements suggesting that the crime was religiously motivated. For this reason, the case has been added to the 'Undecided' database. If further information emerges that hints towards a religiously motivated crime, then it would be reclassified and included under the Hate Crime database. Disclaimer: It is important to clarify that the report does not specify the exact date when the girl was lured away. Therefore, for documentation purposes, we have recorded the date based on when the incident was reported in the media.
