6 Feb 2021
Police arrested nine Christians in central India based on complaints of forced conversions from a Hindu nationalist group, AsiaNews reported Friday.
A mob from the Bajrang Da, the youth wing of the Hindu nationalist Vishva Hindu Parishad organization (VHP), stormed a Pentecostal prayer meeting held at a center run by a Catholic non-profit group called the Sat Prakashan Sanchar Kendra on January 26.
Present at the prayer meeting was a 25-year-old Hindu woman who claimed her parents had brought her to the service in an effort to convert her to Christianity.
