Uttar Pradesh: Hindu Yuva Vahini protests forced conversion'

Bhadohi (UP): Activists allegedly belonging to the right-wing Hindu Yuva Vahini, founded by Yogi Adityanath, on Friday created ruckus at Aurai in this district of Uttar Pradesh over “forcible conversion” of Dalits.

The activists reached a newly constructed house in Tiuri village that was being used as church and alleged that forcible conversion of Dalits to Christianity was going on there. They also caught hold of a person, Ajmon Abraham from Kerala, for his alleged involvement in the conversion. When police reached there the activists handed over Abraham to them. SHO of Aurai police station Onkar Singh Yadav said a probe was on and Abraham was being interrogated. “We are asking the villagers, who were allegedly converted, to know the reality,” he said.
