forced conversion

Court records, bail orders, and bank statements accessed by OpIndia reveal daily foreign inflows, prayer meetings disguised as social gatherings, and a multi-state network operating across police station limits for years before arrests were made.

The FIR states Dubey was lured inside the church, renamed during the ritual and nearly taken away for conversion. He fled and alerted police,.Intelligence inputs warned of large scale religious conversions planned ahead of Christmas.

The FIR says the accused used a Bible, led prayers and allegedly threatened women who resisted, particularly targeting Scheduled Caste women. Bajrang Dal members intervened, after which police arrested both suspects and sent them to judicial custody.

Given that Shiva Kachhi is a Hindu by Faith, the activist is also being smeared as 'anti-Pakistani working for Indian interests.'

Three were arrested after Bajrang Dal’s Shantanu Tiwari complained of Christian missionaries conducting conversions in Haribhanpur village. The FIR details attempts to lure Hindus with money and jobs, and an assault when objections were raised.
