A 14-year-old Hindu girl was raped, bludgeoned with a hammer and then hung from a fan in Takrohi area of Lucknow’s Indira Nagar, UP on Thursday.
Police said that the accused Shahid barged into the victim’s house in Takrohi between 1:00 and 1:30 pm on Thursday. He then sexually assaulted her, and killed her (archived link) with a hammer. Before fleeing the house, he hung her body from a fan in her room.
The victim’s parents iron clothes for a living and had gone to their shop when the accused entered their house and committed the crime after locking their two smaller children in a room. The victim’s father said, “My wife reached back home and found Shahid standing in the verandah. When she tried to hold him, he pushed her and ran away.”
Certain social media handles have claimed that the accused Shahid had been stalking and harassing the minor child for a while, although we have not been able to independently corroborate this.

Police suspect the girl died of head injury. Her body has been sent for post-mortem, while the police are further investigating the case. The heinous crime has sparked outrage in the local community, demanding swift justice for the victim.
SHO Indiranagar said that the body was immediately sent for autopsy and on the basis of a written complaint by the parents, a case under IPC section 376 (Rape) and 302 (Murder) had been lodged.
Following a preliminary investigation, the police managed to nab the accused.
Multiple reports of Hindu girls, mostly minor, being murdered/raped/molested/driven to suicide because of sexual harassment by Muslim men are coming to light every day – the number of unreported incidents must be even higher. The religious indoctrination imparted by fundamentalist clerics that seeds such thought of non-Muslim girls being war booty, or legitimate targets for sexual exploitation / conversion and nikah that will earn the Muslim youth religious rewards (sawab), is primarily responsible for these recurring crimes that are pushing our society and nation towards disaster.
One more Kafir girl dead, and that too violently, at hands of momeen.
Hindu Samaj is losing its daughters at alarming rate. Unless we take this up on war footing, I fear once more we will lose millions like we did during the Islamic invasions.
