Hindu woman found in company of Muslim man in Ujjain; man poses as Hindu when confronted by Hindu organisation

Case Summary
In Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, a Hindu organisation reported that a Hindu woman was deceived and sexually exploited by a Muslim man named Ikram, who had posed as a Hindu man. Members of the Hindu organisation caught a Muslim man with a Hindu woman in a suspicious and obscene condition in the bushes near Vishnu Sagar. Upon questioning, the Muslim accused initially presented himself as a Hindu man named Ram, son of Ghanshyam. Upon checking his Aadhaar card, it was revealed that his real name was Ikram, a resident of Jaansaapura, and he is a Muslim. He was immediately handed over to the Jiwajiganj police station for further action. The Hindu woman found with Ikram is a widow and had come from Mahidpur to Ujjain along with her children. It has been reported that she was lured by Ikram to come to Ujjain. Furthermore, when Ikram’s phone was examined, chats with multiple girls were discovered. As of the date of writing this report, the accused was arrested by the police, and the investigation was ongoing. Police were examining the chats based on which further legal action would be taken.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
This case has been added to the 'Undecided' database due to the lack of credible evidence or independent news reports confirming that the accused deceived the Hindu woman. It may very well be the possibility that Ikram got scared after being confronted by the members of the Hindu organisation, thus he pretended to be Hindu, as he was with a Hindu woman. it is also plausible that the woman was fully aware of Ikram’s religious identity and was in a consensual relationship with him. Furthermore, the woman is an adult, thus free to make her own decisions and life choices. Conversely, it is also possible that Ikram had initially concealed his identity and lured the woman under false pretences. His giving a false name during the confrontation might have been an attempt to avoid suspicion or detection by the woman or others. Nevertheless, this remains speculative, as the case details provide no clear indication of religious motivations. For this reason, this case has been added to the 'Undecided' database. If further information emerges that hints towards a religious motivation behind this crime, then it would be reclassified and included under the Hate Crime database.
