On Friday (30th August), a Muslim girl filed a police complaint against her co-religionists after they harassed her for talking to a Hindu boy. The incident occurred a day earlier in Katghar locality in Moradabad city of Uttar Pradesh.
As per reports, the victim was returning home from the office when she met the Hindu boy. At that time, she was dressed in a burqa. A group of Muslim men interjected and abused her for befriending a Hindu boy.
“They stopped me and said – What is this? Is there any dearth of Muslim men that you are taking to this Hindu boy? They called me shameless and said that it was my dhanda (used as a slur for business).”
During the heated conversation, they misbehaved with the girl and even pulled her burqa. Moreover, the Muslim men also thrashed the Hindu boy who was talking to the victim.
Following the incident, the victim went to the Katghar police station along with her mother and filed a complaint against her radical co-religionists.
According to the girl, two of the accused were referring to each other as ‘Nazim’ and ‘Wasim.’ She said that if the onlookers did not intervene, they could have killed her. Despite pleading that the Hindu boy was like her brother, the Muslim men continued to abuse her.
