Mass conversion racket busted in Meerut
An incidence of mass religious conversion by Christian missionaries has come forth in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. Nine people, including three women, have been booked for allegedly attempting to convert 400 people to Christianity by force in a slum area of Mangatpuram locality.
The area is under the Brahmapuri police station of Meerut. The FIR has been registered under Section 3 and 5 (1) of The Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021. So far, no one has been arrested in this connection.
The complainants said that some Christian evangelists residing in the same village had compelled as many as 400 of them to convert to Christianity.
A senior police officer said that 100 people from Mangatpuram visited the senior superintendent’s office, Meerut on Thursday and alleged that some people were forcing them to convert to Christianity.
The officer said that the locals said that a team of 10 people from Delhi helped them during the lockdown due to COVID-19 in the year 2020. These people provided them with food as well as gave them money during the COVID-19 crisis. As per the FIR filed in the Brahmpuri police station in Meerut, the Christian missionary took undue advantage of the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lured the poor and vulnerable Hindus with financial aid and food to entrap them. They then gradually started brainwashing them to convert to Christianity.
The locals filed a complaint alleging that Chhabili aka Shiva, Binwa, Anil, Sardar, Nikku, Basant, Prema, Titali, and Reena asked them to visit a makeshift church in the locality. They allegedly asked them to remove the pictures of Hindu Gods and Goddesses from their homes.
Hindu Jagran Manch’s Sachin Sirohi also visited Mangatpuram and demanded action.
Police have also recovered a register carrying the name of 150 locals who were allegedly being asked to convert to Christianity.
