religious conversion

The FIR accessed by OpIndia states that the accused, a Muslim woman, assaulted the complainant who is a Hindu man, threatened legal harassment, and left the matrimonial home with cash and jewellery.

What begins as a seemingly harmless practice of religious rituals soon evolves into de facto religious structures, and religious sentiments are weaponised to hold on to the illegally encroached properties as well as conversion activities in the name of the right to practice one’s religion.

Investigators are examining recovered religious material, possible funding sources, and whether the accused, originally from Kerala, operated independently or as part of a wider conversion network active across Kanpur and neighbouring districts.

The Muslim faculty members of KGMU protect Muslim students who trap Hindu girls and then convert them.

Police say statements of women present inside the church are being recorded, while efforts continue to trace accused named in the FIR, as authorities examine whether coercion or inducement was involved in the conversion attempt.
