Christian missionaries are targeting the Shikkaligaara community in Karnataka
The Karnataka Police have registered a case against 15 persons in connection with attempts of forceful religious conversion in Hubballi city of the state, police said on Wednesday.
According to police, the incident came to light following a quarrel between a couple. The husband alleged that his wife is forcing him to convert to Christianity and refusing to live with him. When he couldn’t take any more pressure from the wife, he brought the matter to the notice of community leaders, he said.
The complaint mentioned that Christian missionaries are targeting the Shikkaligaara community of the Hindu religion and making attempts to convert the entire society.
The members of the Shikkaligaara community staged a protest before the police station and demanded conversion bids be stopped.
It is alleged that the missionaries are taking the help of local rowdy sheeter Madan Bugudi to pressure people to leave the Hindu religion and get converted to Christianity.
The police have filed a complaint against Madan Bugudi and 14 others concerning forceful religious conversions and have taken up the matter for investigation.
