A major incident in Gorakhpur has sparked debate and concern across the region, particularly within the Hindu community, over the growing issues related to the safety of Hindu girls and interfaith relations. On Monday afternoon in the Sahjanwa area at Naushad Chauraha, local residents caught and beat a man, identified as Mansoor Ali from Bihar, who was attempting to take a Hindu woman—who had been made to wear a burqa—away with him.

Incident Overview

According to reports, Mansoor Ali had reportedly befriended the young woman from Khajni through phone conversations, allegedly using a Hindu name, “Amit,” to gain her trust. On the day of the incident, he coaxed the woman into meeting with the promise of marriage and intended to take her with him. To conceal her identity, he dressed her in a burqa, but someone recognized her and alerted her family.

When the woman’s family arrived at Naushad Chauraha, they intercepted the couple and, upon unveiling the burqa, the situation quickly escalated. The community and the woman’s relatives, enraged by the apparent deception, beat Mansoor Ali severely on the street before the police arrived to rescue him. The girl was safely taken home by her family, while the injured Mansoor Ali was hospitalized under police observation.

Statements and Investigation

During questioning, Mansoor Ali claimed that he and the woman had already been married for three years and had a son together, but the girl’s family insisted that she had been tricked—that he had introduced himself as “Amit” and only later revealed his true identity. Police officials confirmed that the matter is under investigation and that no formal complaint had been filed by either side as of the initial reports.

The incident took place on Monday afternoon at Naushad Chauraha under the GIDA police station jurisdiction in Gorakhpur. No official written complaint had been filed at the time of the incident; police are conducting a detailed investigation.

Broader Context and Community Emphasis

This incident follows a pattern of rising tension around interfaith relationships in the region. Hindu community leaders stress that safeguarding the dignity and safety of girls is paramount, urging families to stay vigilant against deceit and indoctrination tactics. There is also continuous demand for greater public awareness and education to prevent such incidents and protect the social fabric of Hindu society.

The episode has ignited strong emotional responses, with viral video of the beating circulating on social media and contributing to further public outcry. As investigations continue, the community remains steadfast in its demand for justice and the protection of Hindu girls from such threats.
