On 23rd January 2023, BJP leader Chandrika Prasad, a resident of Jamauli in Jalalpur, filed a complaint against Jose Papachan and his wife Shija A.M.N., residents of Pipariya Bank Colony in Hoshangabad District, Madhya Pradesh. According to Prasad, Jose and Shija had been active for three months in Shahpur Firoz village’s Dalit locality, approaching poor families and deceiving them. On 25th December 2022, they allegedly tried to gather a large crowd in the Dalit community to initiate conversions.
Based on Prasad’s complaint, Police arrested the couple and seized Christian religious literature from them.
