Police in Uttarakhand’s Khatima have booked Sidari Prasad for allegedly converting Dalit Hindus to Christianity through inducements and deceit. The accused, now absconding, faces charges under the Uttarakhand Freedom of Religion Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The court found prima facie evidence that the accused were involved in organised attempts to convert Hindus to Christianity through inducement and threats, rejecting their bail plea and directing continuation of the ongoing police investigation.
The High Court refused to treat the accused as 'victims; of religious conversion, noting that they lured others to convert to Islam after converting themselves.
Police in Rajasthan’s Sriganganagar registered a case against pastor Baggu Singh and his son for forced conversions through alleged miracle cures. Villagers protested outside the police station, demanding the pastor’s arrest within 48 hours.
The pastor claimd that his magical water, which has the blessings of Jesus Christ, can completely cure any person of any disease, in a period of 3 months.
