In Rasulpur village of Salon area in Rae Bareli district, Uttar Pradesh, police arrested Mukim on 6 February 2026 for allegedly concealing his identity, luring a Hindu woman with the promise of marriage, and sexually exploiting her for nearly two years.

The victim later discovered that Mukim was already married and had a child. Distressed by the revelation and the circumstances she had been subjected to, the woman reportedly attempted suicide.

The case is among 30 incidents documented in this report, which describes a recurring pattern in which accused men allegedly used Hindu-sounding names such as “Sonu,” “Deepak,” or “Ajay” on social media to befriend Hindu women. Once the women became emotionally involved and began pressing for marriage, the men’s real identities were revealed.

Many victims were eventually able to approach the police with the assistance of Hindu organisations or after escaping on their own, following which cases were registered under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act and other serious charges including rape, leading to the arrest of the accused in multiple instances.
