A horrifying case of Hinduphobia has come to light from the Charbagh railway station in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow. As per the case details, a man named Ibrahim abducted a five-year-old boy, took him to a warehouse where he raped and killed him.
The murder accused Ibrahim revealed that the motive for the crime was hatred against Hindus. Notably, when the Police confronted the murder accused in front of the mother of the deceased kid, Ibrahim told the bereaved mother, “If your son had been a Muslim, he would have been saved; he was a Hindu. We assault Hindus.” He then burst out laughing.
Speaking with Dainik Bhaskar, the deceased victim’s mother stated that she fainted after hearing Ibrahim’s words and his laughter.
According to reports, the incident happened on Monday night (16th December) when a woman reached Charbagh station in Lucknow with her 5-year-old child. As she was tired, she went to the waiting room. Ibrahim approached the mother-son duo when her son was crying and started calming the son down. He coaxed them to eat rice, after which they both fainted.

Soon, a search was launched after she informed authorities, and the body of the child was found in the warehouse of Charbagh. He was murdered after being raped.
At present, the police have arrested Ibrahim and sent him to jail after a case under sections of rape and murder was registered against him.
GRP Dharamvir Singh said in a statement that accused Ibrahim, a resident of Lakhimpur, of befriending a woman who had come from Rajasthan with her five-year-old son on Sunday night. He had also given biscuits and chips to the child. The child was playing with Ibrahim.
Meanwhile, the woman slept. Seeing her sleeping, the accused Ibrahim placed the child on his shoulder and began going towards Anand Nagar’s Second Entry from the footbridge. After exiting the overbridge, Ibrahim proceeded to a condom rack, then to a warehouse with the child. This was confirmed after reviewing footage from 40 cameras positioned at the railway station. Based on this, GRP recognized Ibrahim and apprehended him.

The accused Ibrahim sexually assaulted the minor Hindu boy inside the warehouse. However, when the kid began to wail loudly as a result of the abuse, Ibrahim killed him on the spot. A jacket he left on the condom rack assisted in his capture.
There was a piece of paper in one of the pockets of the jacket with a mobile number written on it. After putting the number on the surveillance, police contacted a worker who gave them the location of Ibrahim.
The police said that the deceased victim’s body was sent for postmortem, and it was found that the victim was raped before the murder. The child also sustained a head injury.
After knowing this horrific act, anyone can not control their emotion. This act is not single, nor is the hate for Hindus new. This inhuman act not only fall under Hinduphobia; it transcends beyond it, and we have not come up with a word which can describe this horrific act. The case has further brought into spotlight the extent of radicalisation and Hinduphobia courtesy of hatemongering Mullah elements occupying places of power in the Islamic society.
