There are the terrible stories of two young Indian Hindu girls killed by their Muslim “lovers” who had previous marriages. Writes Ashlyn Davis
The much-debated Shraddha murder case seems to have encouraged a gory trend among some Muslims in India. Posing as lovers or husbands, some are now brutally murdering Hindu women and disposing of their bodies of Hindu women in the most gruesome ways imaginable. There are two recent instances of Hindu women being victimized by Muslim perpetrators from two different regions in India.
On Saturday, December 17, Jharkhand police detained Dildar Ansari as a suspect in the murder of Rubika Pahadan, who was Ansari’s second wife. The incident is reported from the Sahibganj district of Jharkhand. 22-year-old Rubika was from a Hindu native community, commonly referred to as the Schedule Tribe. As per reports, Rubika married Dildar a month ago; it was a “love marriage,” and she didn’t know that Dildar was already married. She learned that she would be Dildar’s second wife only after marriage.
The first wife, who was still living with Dildar, disapproved of his marriage with Rubika. While the she relentlessly provoked Dildar against Rubika, his family also instigated him to come out of this marriage. It was a chaotic situation that triggered frequent fights in the Muslim household, and it was just a matter of time before Dildar would hatch a plan to get rid of his Hindu wife.
Dildar Ansari has admitted to killing Rubika, chopping her body into 50 pieces using an electric cutter, and storing it in a sack. He disposed of the dismembered body piece by piece every day in random locations nearby. The idea was that stray dogs would eat up the body parts and clear away all the evidences for Dildar. However, the matter came to light when locals saw dogs feasting on one of the body parts behind a government-run rural childcare center in the Borio Santhali area of Sahibganj. The police were notified; they located at least 18 parts of the victim’s dismembered body and were able to trace her identity.
Though Dildar has admitted that he had killed Rubika in connivance with his family, speaking to the media, the deceased’s elder, said, “he told me his family members did it while he was out.” She also shared that she fears for the safety of the remaining members of her family.
As per reports, the murder transpired in the residence of Moinul Ansari, who is Dildar’s maternal uncle. Police have also detained Dildar’s father, Mustakim Ansari; his mother, Maryam Khatoon; his sister, Shareja Khatoon; his brothers, Mahtab Ansari and Amir Ansari; and his first wife Gulera. Investigations are underway.
On the day Jharkhand police arrested Dildar Ansari as the accused in his Hindu wife’s murder, the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch recovered the dead body of 27-year-old Urvi Vaishnav. Urvi, originally from Bundi, Rajasthan, was employed in a Mumbai hotel. She had gone missing on Tuesday, December 13. Her bereaved family has accused her live-in partner Riyaz Khan of killing her and throwing her body into the secluded area.
Detailing on the crime, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Amit Kale of the Navi Mumbai Crime Branch, has stated: “The evidence gathered revealed that the girl went to a sandal shop with a friend. She was seen with Riyaz in a CCTV footage of a shop in Vashi. During the investigation, we discovered that the accused man previously worked as a gym trainer. We looked into the case further and checked several gyms in the area before locating the man in Ghansoli. We began by taking the co-accused Imran Shaikh into custody. He then told us about the main suspect, who was later apprehended.”
The police reached Riyaz by locating him in the CCTV footage of a footwear shop from where Urvi had bought the sandal she was wearing at the time of the murder. As Riyaz appeared like a bodybuilder, the investigating team started inquiring through all the local gyms and was able to track him down. According to a police statement, Urvi and Riyaz were in a relationship and had a live-in arrangement. Riyaz was already married and, in fact, had three wives already. Irked by Urvi asking him to marry her, Riyaz strangled her to death. Senior Inspector of Crime Branch Ravindra Patil said that the co-accused, Imran Shaikh, was arrested by the cops and has confessed to having aided Riyaz in dumping the body in the Gadi River.
So, there are the terrible stories of two young Indian Hindu girls killed by their Muslim “lovers” who had previous marriages. More unfortunate than their tragic ends is the fact that naïve Hindu girls will learn no lessons from these incidents, and we will have more such cases to report in the future.
