Hindu man abducted and tortured by Muslims in Pakistan
Sindh, Pakistan 
25 February, 2025
Case Summary
In Pakistan's Sindh, a Hindu man was abducted and tortured brutally by Muslims for not paying ransom. A video of this victim was shared on social media where the Hindu man was tied by chains and his legs were wounded and bleeding. The video posted was viral on X app by an X handle named 'pakistan_untold'. Hindu minorities in Pakistan face persistent persecution, marked by systemic discrimination, violence, and forced conversions. Hindu women, particularly young girls, are often abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, and married off to Muslim men with little to no legal recourse. Temples are frequently vandalised or destroyed, and Hindu communities are subjected to social and economic marginalisation. Blasphemy laws are disproportionately used against Hindus, leading to false accusations and severe punishments. Many Hindu families are forced to flee their homes due to religious intolerance, living in constant fear of attacks. This sustained persecution highlights the dire conditions for Hindus in Pakistan, where their religious identity makes them targets of oppression.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
There is a well-documented history of Hindus in Pakistan facing brutal persecution, including abductions, torture, and even killings, solely due to their religious identity. Many cases have shown clear evidence of Hindus being targeted specifically for their faith, subjected to violence, forced conversions, and systemic discrimination. Given this precedent, it is crucial to assess whether the attack on this Hindu man in Sindh was motivated by religious hatred or if it was an instance of criminal violence unrelated to his identity. While the brutality of his abduction and torture is undeniable, and his Hindu identity is a notable factor, there is no direct evidence in this particular case to confirm that religious animosity was the driving force behind the crime. Without clear proof that the perpetrators targeted him because of his faith, this case has been added to the Undecided Database. If further details emerge indicating that his Hindu identity played a role in the attack, it could be reclassified accordingly.
