Be friends or be kidnapped: Muslim goons' threat to Hindu girls at Ranchi school

Be friends or be kidnapped: Muslim goons' threat to Hindu girls at Ranchi school

India Today
Monday, September 12, 2022 12:49:19 PM UTC

According to the girls who are students of Class 9, tribal and other Hindu girls have been getting such threats continuously for a week now.

A group of Muslim men walked into a state-run school in Jharkhand's Ranchi, brandishing weapons and forcing girls to accept them as friends. The goons threatened to kidnap the girls if they didn’t follow their diktat.

As some teachers and students stood up to them, they, too, were threatened and beaten up.

According to the girls who are students of Class 9, tribal and other Hindu girls have been getting such threats continuously for a week now.

The police have registered an FIR following a written complaint by the girls and the management of the school. A 5-member special investigation team (SIT) has been formed to investigate the matter. However, no arrests have been made in the case so far.

“It is useless to try to give a communal color to the matter. The people here are intelligent. The police will not touch the innocent but the guilty will not be spared either,” senior police officer Naushad Alam told India Today TV.

The BJP, which is in opposition in the state, has attacked the Hemant Soren government over the issue, claiming that incidents of love jihad and hooliganism are continuing unabated in the state. “Some frustrated Muslim men are targeting Hindu daughters and the government is doing nothing to stop this,” the BJP said.
