From Kensington’s northern India trail to Mission Grove’s $1.6 million campaign, the investigation shows how foreign churches publicly backed TTI’s India focused church planting ecosystem through money, training and field engagement.
TTI, earlier known as Project India, faces scrutiny after ED found Rs 95 crore withdrawn through foreign debit cards while old posts reveal repeated India links of the Nelms family.
Rejecting her plea for pre arrest protection, the Nashik court observed that the material collected during investigation pointed to a wider and organised effort, making custodial interrogation necessary to uncover the full conspiracy behind the case.
TTI’s own material says donations fund leadership training, travel, stipends, field verification and village mapping. ED says foreign debit cards were used to withdraw cash across states while bypassing FCRA.
In its order issued on Tuesday, 21st April, the court said that the allegations mentioned in the FIR point towards deliberate actions intended to hurt religious feelings.
"...Certain persons go about not professing or propagating their religion, but thrusting it upon others in the belief which somehow makes it to their mind the religion they believe in must be followed by others," the High Court stated.
Complainant stated false marriage promise, forced relations, threats and pressure to accept Islam at workplace. FIR records derogatory remarks on Hindu deities. Danish Sheikh moved bail plea before Nashik Road Sessions Court.
Complaint filed on 5th April led to FIR on 6th April and arrest. Students alleged late night messaging, pressure to adopt Islam, and objectionable comments during classes. Police recorded statements of complainants, while accused cited dispute with coaching operator.
