During a protest by VHP-Bajrang Dal following the murders of Karan and Rakesh Sood, allegedly over a monetary dispute, a speaker framed the crime as part of a broader communal conspiracy involving “jihadis.” One speaker referred to Muslims as having a “jihadi mentality,” describing them as those who “sell drugs” and “fix punctures.” He invoked a recent case involving TCS in Nashik, with allegations of sxual harassment and religious conversion, falsely claiming that a “collective sxual assault” had occurred involving 188 Hindu women. He further claimed that Muslims in multinational companies engage in “love jihad,” using job interviews to identify vulnerable Hindu women, who are then coerced into wearing hijabs and burqas and attending Iftar gatherings, and that those who refuse to convert are blackmailed using recordings of private encounters.
