Case Summary
A six-year-old Hindu girl was abducted and raped by Mohammad Sabir, a local man identified by residents as having a history of questionable behaviour. The incident occurred late afternoon, around 4-5 PM, when the young girl was playing outside her home. Mohammad Sabir lured the girl away and subsequently exploited her. Following the brutal attack, the child was discovered and her parents rushed her to the district hospital, where she is currently receiving medical treatment. The police arrested the accused involved in the rape of the 6-year-old girl. Authorities also took into account the concerns raised by the community regarding Sabir's past behaviour, as local villagers expressed that they were not surprised by the allegations against him.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, the perpetrator abducted and raped a Hindu minor. There are suspicions that the Hindu child was targeted owing to her religious identity. From the details available, it is entirely possible that the crime was one of opportunity - where the child was simply accessible to the perpetrator. However, there is a slip side to the argument - for a Muslim perpetrator, a Muslim child would be far more accessible than a Hindu child. The fact that the perpetrator specifically targeted the Hindu child could point towards the religious profiling of the victim. However, this is only in the realm of speculation since the case details make no indications of the religious motivations of the perpetrator. For that reason, this case is being added to the Undecided database. If more information emerges, it will be added to the Hate Crime Database.
