Case Summary
In the Rakabganj police station area of Agra district, five minor Hindu girls in school uniforms were harassed and molested by four Muslim men. A video of a CCTV footage went viral on social media, which showed five Hindu girls being harassed by four Muslims. This viral CCTV footage caused an uproar on social media. According to the viral CCTV footage, four Muslim men on bikes were seen surrounding five Hindu girls. One man was caught on camera forcibly holding a girl’s hand and attempting to take her to a different street. Another man was seen engaging in obscene acts with another girl against her will. At the same time, a third man, sitting on his bike, was seen forcibly kissing a girl’s hand and misbehaving in public. Locals described this incident as an act of 'Love Jihad' or 'Grooming Jihad.' The police were informed, and the Station House Officer of Rakabganj police station stated, 'We have received information about the incident, and the viral CCTV footage has been taken into consideration. Efforts are underway to identify and arrest the accused. Strict action will be taken against the culprits.' The police also mentioned that if any elements of 'Love Jihad' were involved in this case, severe action would be taken against the perpetrators. The locals demanded the immediate arrest of all the accused and a thorough investigation. The police registered a case against the four suspects and launched an investigation.
Why it is Hate Crime ?
In this case, there is a strong suspicion that the victims were profiled based on their religious identity. The perpetrators pursued the Hindu minors and continued to harass them when they came back from school. In many such cases, the victims are profiled based on religious identity and then pursued. Further, the dehumanisation of Hindu women in a doctrinal and scriptural sense makes it far easier for Muslim extremists to target Hindu women. However, there is also a possibility that the woman was harassed as a crime of opportunity and no religious motive existed. This case is being added to the undecided database due to the lack of more information. The case would be added to the hate crime database if more information emerges.
