A troubling case of deception, sexual assault, blackmail, and alleged religious coercion has surfaced in Indore’s Vijay Nagar area. Based on the complaint of a young Hindu schoolgirl, the police have filed a case against two accused, Islamist Fardeen Khan, who allegedly used a false Hindu identity, and Zoya Khan, who is accused of aiding him and pressuring the Hindu victim to convert to Islam.
According to the FIR, the girl met the accused during the COVID-19 lockdown while staying at her grandmother’s house in Guna. At the time, the Islamist man introduced himself as Kamal and gradually developed a friendship with her. Over time, he allegedly raped her and recorded explicit photos and videos without her knowledge or consent.
As per Dainik Bhaskar, the victim’s mother told police that her daughter had become increasingly withdrawn. Suspicious, the family checked her phone and found objectionable photos and videos. When questioned, the girl revealed that the accused had assaulted her multiple times, including once at a rented flat in Bhawarkuan, where another individual stood guard outside.
The girl further stated that on January 6, 2023, during a family function in Guna, the accused took her to a hotel. When asked to provide identification at the reception, he submitted an Aadhaar card that revealed his real name: Fardeen Khan. Shocked, the girl confronted him and refused further interaction. In response, the accused allegedly threatened to leak her private videos and again sexually assaulted her.
Seeking help, the girl reached out to her school friend Zoya Khan but was further betrayed. Zoya allegedly told her that if she truly loved Fardeen and wanted to marry him, she must convert to Islam, implying that refusal could lead to the release of her private content.
Shaken by these threats, the girl filed a complaint at the Vijay Nagar police station. The police registered an FIR against Fardeen Khan (resident of Guna) and Zoya Khan (resident of Khajrana) under sections pertaining to rape, criminal intimidation, and the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act.
The incident has sparked outrage, with community members and leaders from Hindu organizations, including Man Singh Rajawat and others, accompanying the victim and demanding strict action. Police have launched an investigation and assured swift arrests.
A similar incident occurred in Indore in 2022, where a man named Shahrukh, who was already married, allegedly posed as a Hindu to deceive, sexually exploit, and unlawfully marry a Hindu girl. These repeated patterns, involving identity fraud, exploitation, and coercive conversion, seen in various parts of Bharat, raise serious concerns. The use of deception to target Hindu girls under the pretext of relationships or marriage must be thoroughly investigated and addressed with urgency by the authorities.
HinduPost is courageous to report cases of muslim males entrapping, grooming Hindu women, pretending to be Hindu with fake Hindu names. Mainstream newspapers virtually blackout such rampantly increasing cases of Islamist aggression and deny that this phenomenon often dubbed as “love jihad” even exist.
The caption of the news in HinduPost often starts as “Islamist X posed as Y”. I think use of the word Islamist while not incorrect may be better expressed as simply saying ‘Muslim man’
Like here: “Muslim man Fardeen Khan pretends to be Hindu with name Kamal…”
Just my two cents. Thanks.
