In a disturbing case from Jaipur, Rahul Kumar Yogi, a 24-year-old Hindu man, was arrested for raping, blackmailing, and extorting jewelry from a minor Hindu girl. He not only committed a brutal crime but also recorded the act to manipulate and exploit the victim.
Police sources said the Rahul Kumar Yogi was threatening the girl that if she failed to steal jewelry and cash from her house and hand them over to him, he would upload her private photos and videos on social media.
The minor shared her ordeal with her family, who then approached the police and filed an FIR. The accused Rahul fled to Gujarat after learning that an FIR was registered against him. Police began tracking his movements and arrested him.
The Hypocrisy of “Love Jihad” Narratives
The term “Love Jihad” is used to paint Muslim men as predators who supposedly target Hindu women. However, what happens when a Hindu man rapes and blackmails a Hindu girl?
- If a Muslim man marries a Hindu woman without demanding dowry and treats her with respect, Hindu extremists label it as “Love Jihad.”
- If a Hindu man rapes and extorts a Hindu girl, these same leaders fail to speak out.
This case highlights how communal politics is prioritized over genuine concern for women’s safety.
Selective Outrage and Silence on Hindu Criminals
The BJP and right-wing leaders have built their narrative around protecting Hindu women, yet they fail to act when the perpetrator is from their own community. Some key points of concern:
- When a Hindu man commits a crime, why is there no nationwide outrage?
- Why are Hindu religious leaders and politicians not demanding stricter punishments for such criminals?
- Why does the concept of women’s protection only apply selectively?
This selective narrative is dangerous and undermines the real fight for gender justice.
Yogi Adityanath’s Silence on Hate Crimes and Criminals
Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath often talks about law and order but has taken no significant action against right-wing figures making hate speeches. If his government is serious about women’s safety, why is there no public condemnation of criminals like Rahul Kumar Yogi?
While his administration promotes bulldozer justice against minorities, criminals from right-wing backgrounds continue to operate with impunity.
Justice Should Be Above Religion
The real issue at hand is women’s safety, and this must be addressed without religious bias. Criminals exist in every community, and they do not represent the entire group. Instead of spreading communal hatred, we must focus on:
✔️ Ensuring equal justice for all victims
✔️ Holding criminals accountable, regardless of religion
✔️ Rejecting the political use of women’s issues for communal agendas
Conclusion: Stand for Justice, Not Religious Bias
The Rahul Kumar Yogi case is a stark reminder of the hypocrisy within Hindu extremist groups. Their silence when the perpetrator is a Hindu proves that their concern for women’s safety is politically motivated, not genuine.
If we truly care about women’s rights, we must demand justice for all victims—whether the criminal is Hindu, Muslim, or from any other community. True justice is about accountability, not religious identity.
