India: Hindu Women Held Captive by Muslim Family, Gang-Raped; Sons Forcibly Converted to Islam
An ingredient of Jihad that’s widespread and uncontrolled.

A Hindu woman from Gurugram has alleged that a Muslim family from Uttar Pradesh, India, held her and her two sons captive in a house in Moradabad. Hindustan Live reports that the lady claims that she was gang-raped during this captivity, and that her children were forcibly converted to Islam in a local mosque.
The woman was introduced to a Muslim man in Gurgaon in 2014; this man was her husband’s friend and used to work as a contractor. He eventually got closer to the victim by offering to help her after her husband’s mysterious disappearance. But in the guise of benevolence, he lured her into a relationship and raped her. Promising to marry her, he took several private and explicit photos of the victim and used these images to blackmail her.
In December 2019, the accused took the woman and her sons to his native town, which falls under the Mundapande police station area of Moradabad district in western UP. Instead of taking her to his home, the accused took her and the children to a mosque, where all were converted to Islam. The woman was then kept as a captive in his house, where the other women of the Muslim man’s family guarded her to ensure that she didn’t escape. The brothers of the Muslim man who lured her into this captivity gang-raped her and threatened to kill her and her children when she protested. The family also forced her to eat beef. Beef is forbidden in Hinduism and is, hence, often force-fed to Hindus whom Muslims forcibly convert, as a sign of their complete submission to Islam.
Though the woman somehow managed to escape with her children and returned to Gurugram in 2019, she didn’t get any respite, as the accused followed her to Gurugran, assaulted her, and forced her to return with him. On December 25, 2023, the Muslim man conducted a second nikah (Islamic marriage) with another woman.
The woman has recently approached the Senior Superintendent of Police to file her complaint and demand justice. The disappearance of the Hindu woman’s husband remains a mystery and deserves a thorough investigation.
This is not an isolated case; the angle of married or separated non-Muslim women and their children being forcibly converted to Islam and exploited by Muslim men has come to light in numerous incidents of late. Reportedly, in 2021, a Muslim man from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh lured a widowed Sikh woman into a relationship. He then forcibly converted her sons from her marriage to Islam and got them circumcised.
In 2022, a helpless Hindu woman with an infant from Ghaziabad was offered shelter and support by a man whom she later found out to be a Muslim. The man later assaulted the girl and got her infant circumcised before she could escape.
In 2020, a Hindu woman named Priya Chaudhary and her minor daughter Kashish were brutally slaughtered by her Muslim lover, Mohammad Shamshad. After her divorce, Priya had met Mohammad, who had introduced himself as “Amit Gurjar” online. Instances of Hindu girls getting groomed by Muslim men who establish a romantic relationship or marry them are put through horrific abuse in their marital homes, such as being asked to sleep with their brothers-in-law or father-in-law.
Crimes by all too many Muslims are rife in hotspots across India. The Indian government might have done splendid work in containing COVID-19, but the pandemic of Muslims trapping, gang-raping and killing Hindu women is widespread and uncontrolled. In December of last year, three Muslim men waylaid a woman who was seven months pregnant and her husband as they were returning home; they gang-raped the woman. The incident took place in the Mundapande area. In December 2023, again, a man named Rasuddin raped a 15-year-old Hindu girl. In November 2023, a mason named Furkan Ali, assuming the non-Muslim identity of “Sultan Singh,” trapped and kidnapped a girl. Ali had come to the victim’s house to build a toilet as part of a government scheme.
In October of last year, a 19-year-old girl was kidnapped by two Muslim men in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh and taken to Moradabad. She was held in a house for 20 days and gang-raped by five Muslim men, while two Muslim women kept an eye on her. In May, a Muslim man named Imran Mansoori befriended a Hindu minor girl by creating a fake Instagram account under the name of Rahul, a popular and common Hindu name. He befriended the girl, met her and tried to take her to a hotel, but was reported to the police by the hotel management when they noticed that “Rahul” produced the ID card of “Imran.” Mohd. Jamal, a married Muslim man, followed the pattern, posing as “Sonu” and luring a Hindu woman. He then converted the woman to Islam, married her, and then gave her the triple talaq.
Apologists of Islam may want us to dismiss the connection between Islam and these crimes, and insist that we look at them simply as criminal activities. Our argument is this: why do these perpetrators, in most cases, convert their victims and children to Islam, if their crimes have no link to the religion?
