Grooming Jihad

Reports say that the matter came to light after a Hindu female student showed the purported sexually explicit messages allegedly sent by Professor Ahmar Afaq to her father. The student's father approached the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), which then raised the matter with the college administration and met the Nagpur Police Commissioner. 

Junaid's family first agreed to talk to their son and return the minor but later refused to intervene in the matter.

In an X post published on 21st April, Arfa Khanum Sherwani described the term Love Jihad as "a profound insult to the dignity and intelligence of Hindu women”. She framed the issue as “communal propaganda” meant to “control women” and strip them of their autonomy.

The police conducted an inquiry based on a complaint filed by the family and found that she frequently visited a Muslim student's residence after school.

The report highlights that although the survivors have their own unique stories of abuse and torment they were subjected to, however, “patterns of targeted exploitation by predominantly Pakistani males, combined with gross negligence from public bodies, are identifiable.”

Hindus today have reached such a situation today that they are under a lot of social pressure to be 'modern' and appear 'secular'. Perhaps this is the reason why they are not paying as much attention to their children's activities

The report mentions that Pakistani men are responsible for 64 per cent of cases of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
