Sonbhadra, 3 Dec (HS): Police arrested a youth late

Tuesday night in Robertsganj, Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh. Christian

books and other items were recovered from him. Meanwhile, the accused's wife

fled the scene, and a police team began searching for her. Circle Officer

Randhir Mishra stated on Wednesday that Shivam Singh Rajput, a district

minister of the BJP Yuva Morcha and a resident of Ward No. 16 of the

Robertsganj Municipal Corporation, filed a complaint with the police. He stated

that he received information that on Tuesday night, some people from outside

had gathered locals at the home of Rama Pal, a resident of the ward, and were

encouraging them to convert to Christianity by offering them money and other

inducements.

Upon learning of this, he arrived at the scene and found

conversion-related materials, including crosses and Bibles. Ramu and his wife

were praying and encouraging people to convert. When he objected, the people

conducting the conversions pushed the women forward. Seeing the situation, he

informed the police. Upon arriving at the scene, the police arrested the

accused Ramu, while his wife, Rinki, is absconding.
