From the horrific Ajmer sex scandal of 1992 to the disturbing allegations in Rajasthan’s Bijainagar, a series of cases involving the exploitation of young Hindu girls demands answers. The latest controversy surrounding NSUI-associated Anas Khan and the proposed Diljit Dosanjh concert trip raises fresh questions about the targeted recruitment of female Hindu students, financial inducements and the possibility of organised exploitation racket.
Why were young college girls being recruited with money and VIP privileges?
A disturbing controversy has emerged at Delhi University’s Ramanujan College after Anas Khan, a former NSUI office-bearer, was accused of approaching female students with offers of money, gifts, travel facilities and VIP access to a Diljit Dosanjh concert in Ahmedabad. According to allegations circulated through purported WhatsApp conversations, students were being offered payments ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹30,000 to accompany certain NRI clients. Some of the messages reportedly specified physical appearance and personal characteristics. The college suspended Khan until February 2027 following a preliminary inquiry. NSUI has also distanced itself from him, stating that he had already been suspended from the organisation. These warrant a transparent investigation.
Congress and NSUI cannot expect the public to accept convenient explanations without questioning the timeline. As per India Today reports, a suspension letter now being circulated, reportedly dated September 12, 2026, claims that Anas Khan had already been removed for anti-party activities. But if that claim is true, why was he still appearing in NSUI-related activities, publicly leading events and collaborating with the official NSUI Ramanujan College Instagram account on October 1, including a march promoting women’s rights? Why did his association with NSUI-linked platforms apparently continue into November?
The contradiction raises serious questions about when the suspension actually took effect and whether the organisation is attempting to distance itself from the controversy after the allegations surfaced. A backdated document cannot automatically erase a public record of continued association. Congress and NSUI must explain the timeline, produce verifiable suspension records and answer the questions surrounding their former office-bearer’s recruitment of female students. Women’s rights cannot be reduced to social media slogans, while serious allegations involving the safety of women demand accountability.
The concert bait: Money, VIP access and exploitation of young Hindu girls
The Diljit Dosanjh concert became an attractive bait in a recruitment arrangement that demands serious investigation. Behind the promises of VIP passes, luxury travel, free accommodation and payments of ₹10,000–₹30,000 lies a disturbing question: were young Hindu girls being deliberately lured into questionable companionship arrangements with unidentified men? Why were students reportedly selected based on their age and physical appearance? Who were the alleged NRI clients, and what exactly was expected from these girls in return? No concert, celebrity, money or luxury privilege can justify the exploitation of young women. The Ajmer and Bijainagar cases serve as grave reminders of the devastating consequences of Islamic sexual exploitation, grooming and blackmail. Hindu daughters are not commodities to be recruited or exploited. Any attempt at grooming, sexual exploitation or coercive religious conversion must be exposed, investigated and punished.
Ajmer 1992: A horrifying chapter involving politically connected individuals and influential Khadim families
Bharat has witnessed the devastating consequences of organised Islamic sexual exploitation before. The infamous Ajmer scandal of 1992 involved the sexual abuse and blackmail of numerous school- and college-going girls. The investigation implicated prominent local Youth Congress figures Farooq Chishti and Nafis Chishti, along with individuals from influential Khadim families associated with the Ajmer Dargah. The accused Islamist exploited their social standing, influence and access to young Hindu girls to lure victims into situations where they were sexually assaulted. Photographs were reportedly used to blackmail and silence the survivors. The case exposed how power, political connections and social influence could be weaponised against vulnerable young Hindu women. In August 2024, six additional rapist Islamists were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment by a special POCSO court.
How the Ajmer exploitation network operated
One of the most disturbing features of the Ajmer scandal was the reported pattern of recruitment. According to accounts documented during the investigation, girls were approached through acquaintances, friendships and promises of assistance. Some Hindu victims were used to introduce their friends to the Islamist perpetrators, allowing the exploitation to spread. After sexual assaults, photographs were reportedly used as instruments of intimidation and blackmail. The victims were left facing enormous social pressure, fear and threats. This was not simply a case of individual misconduct; the investigation exposed multiple radicalists and a pattern of exploitation that continued for years. The role of the prominent Youth Congress figures and individuals from Khadim families deserves to be scrutinised and punished for the whole scandal.
Bijainagar: Allegations involving minor Hindu schoolgirls cannot be ignored
The allegations that emerged from Bijainagar in Rajasthan in February 2025 were equally disturbing. Several families approached the police after raising concerns about the radical Islamic grooming, sexual exploitation, blackmail and religious coercion of minor Hindu schoolgirls. According to the police investigation and chargesheet, the rapists allegedly used gifts, mobile phones, social interactions and meetings to establish contact with Hindu girls. The families stated that objectionable photographs and videos were used to threaten and silence the Hindu victims. There was also evidence of pressure to recite the Kalma, force beef consumption, observe Islamic religious practices and distance themselves from Hindu religious traditions. The religious coercion is particularly serious because every child has the right to practise, retain and express her faith without intimidation.
Former councillor and multiple accused: Investigators must establish every link
The Bijainagar investigation also brought a former independent councillor, Abdul Hakim Qureshi, under scrutiny. Police arrested several individuals, and an 895-page chargesheet was filed against 13 accused Islamists, including five minors. The chargesheet included cases relating to sexual harassment, stalking, coercion, blackmail and radical Islamic conversion. It is important to clarify that the police did not include rape or child-pornography charges in that chargesheet, despite some of the more serious allegations raised by victims’ families. This makes the examination of the original complaints, forensic evidence, witness statements and subsequent court proceedings especially important. Investigators must establish whether any influential individual knowingly facilitated the exploitation, protected the rapists or obstructed the investigation.
The disturbing questions that connect these separate cases
The Anas Khan controversy, the Ajmer scandal, and the Bijainagar investigation are separate cases; nevertheless, they raise important questions about recurring methods of exploitation: approaching young Hindu women through social connections, offering money and gifts, using influence to establish trust, exploiting vulnerability, and resorting to intimidation or blackmail. Investigators must examine whether recruitment was coordinated, whether intermediaries were involved, whether financial transactions reveal a wider chain and whether anyone deliberately targeted minors Hindu girls.
Political influence and religious authority must never become shields against investigation
The Ajmer case demonstrated that individuals associated with political organisations and influential religious families could face prosecution and conviction. Bijainagar has raised questions about the involvement of people with local political influence. The latest Delhi controversy also involves an individual previously associated with a major student political organisation NSUI. Political affiliation, religious identity, institutional status or social influence must never become protection from criminal investigation. If members of any organisation are found to have facilitated exploitation, their affiliations must not prevent accountability.
Hindu daughters deserve protection, justice and the freedom to practise their faith
For Hindu families, the grooming and religious coercion of minor Hindu girls are distressing. Parents send their daughters to schools and colleges expecting them to receive education, build careers and enjoy independence in a safe environment. They should never have to fear that financial inducements, manipulated friendships, intimidation or exploitation could put their daughters at risk. Hindu girls, like every other child in Bharat, have the constitutional right to dignity, personal liberty, bodily autonomy and freedom of religion. Protecting these rights requires effective policing, accountable educational institutions, awareness among parents and swift action against anyone found guilty. The dignity of victims must take precedence over political narratives, communal tensions and attempts to suppress uncomfortable questions.
The demand must be clear: Investigate every accused, expose every facilitator and protect every victim
The Ajmer scandal should never be forgotten. The Bijainagar incident deserves sustained judicial scrutiny, and the latest Anas Khan controversy requires a transparent, serious investigation into the recruitment of female students. Authorities must examine communications, money trails, travel arrangements, intermediaries and any evidence of exploitation or trafficking. Every participant must be identified and prosecuted from the jihadi networks. If influential individuals are involved, their positions must not shield them.
Hindu daughters are not bargaining instruments, their dignity is not negotiable, and their religious freedom is not something anyone has the right to intimidate them into surrendering. Protecting them requires evidence, courage, accountability and justice.
