Jihadi Salon Owner Arrested for Posing as Hindu to Harass Hindu Girls on Facebook [Garhwal, Uttarakhand]

In a disturbing incident in Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand, a local salon owner named Mohammad Sahil has been arrested for allegedly using a fake Hindu identity on Facebook to harass Hindu girls. The case has raised significant concerns about the growing trend of identity manipulation for malicious purposes.

Mohammad Sahil, who operates a salon near the polytechnic college in Srinagar Garhwal, was reportedly using a false identity, “Amit Rawat,” on Facebook to send friend requests to Hindu girls and harass them. The deception was uncovered by BJP leader Lakhpat Singh during a visit to Sahil’s salon. Singh discovered multiple suspicious Facebook accounts on Sahil’s phone, leading him to confront the salon owner.

Upon questioning, Sahil initially claimed that someone else had created the fake accounts in his name. However, Singh alleged that Sahil was deliberately using the false identity to deceive and blackmail Hindu girls. Further inspection of Sahil’s phone revealed several Facebook accounts under different Hindu names, corroborating Singh’s suspicions.

Following the discovery, Singh involved the local authorities, leading to Sahil’s arrest. Although Sahil has since been released on bail, the investigation into his activities is ongoing. Authorities are examining the extent of his actions to ensure justice is served.

This incident is part of a larger, troubling trend in northern India, where individuals with Islamic identities are reportedly adopting Hindu names to manipulate and exploit Hindu girls. Such cases have been increasingly reported, raising alarm among Hindu communities and organizations.

The deceptive tactic of using false identities to gain trust and subsequently exploit individuals is not isolated. Recently, similar cases have been reported, such as that of Faiz Malik, who posed as “Ankit Thakur” to befriend and assault a Hindu minor orphan in Kanpur.

Hindu organizations and leaders are actively working to address and prevent such crimes, emphasizing the need for vigilance and legal action to protect the community from these manipulative practices. The case of Mohammad Sahil serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by such deceptive actions and the importance of community awareness and law enforcement intervention.
