In a malicious attempt to target Hindus, a disturbing video of a minor girl is going viral on X (formerly Twitter) with the claim that a 12-year-old Harijan Hindu girl was gang-raped by a group of Hindu men in Gujarat. And threw it near the forest.
Crime Reports India (archived link), a Pakistan-based Hinduphobe account that is actively spreading hateful content targeting Hindus, shared the video and wrote, “India: 12-year-old Harijan Lower Caste Hindu girl, Jamna Kumari, reportedly gang-raped by a pack of Hindu men and thrown near the jungle in Gujarat. Pajeets never accept own religious discrimination but complain of racism in West. Hindu society is worse.”

Fact Check
At the beginning of our research, we extracted different keyframes from the video and did a reverse image search and found a report from Gulf News. We saw the same keyframe in the article and found that the video is from Sindh, Pakistan.
According to the report, the incident took place on June 7, 2019, in Sindh, Pakistan, a 12-year-old Hindu girl was forcibly drugged and sexually assaulted by two Muslim brothers named Roshan Shaikh and Rajab Shaikh. The accused were arrested and the First Information Report (FIR) was filed against them.
Hindu right-wing activist Kapil Dev had also tweeted the photograph and first information report of the two accused on his X handle. “Update on Jamna case: Two main accused rapists Roshan Shaikh and Rajab Shaikh have been arrested and FIR lodged against them,” the tweet said.

According to another tweet by Ayaz Latif Palijo, both the accused were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment.
Today Sessions Court Tando Mohd Khan awarded 10-year sentence to accused Rajab and Roshan.

14-year old Jamna was raped 4 months ago but she was refused admission in hosipital and registration of FIR.
On my intervention she was admitted in Civil Hospital and FIR was registered. https://t.co/6gsFzWkoUs pic.twitter.com/CotSzddA1P
Conclusion: The claim that the 12 year old girl was gang raped by Hindu men and thrown near the jungle in Gujarat is false. The actual incident is from Sindh, Pakistan. Unsettling events such as these demonstrate that the state of Hindu minority in Pakistan is already worse as they are in danger of being extinct. There are frequent news stories about minor Hindu girls being abducted, raped, and forced to convert.
