The arrested accused

Agra (Uttar Pradesh) – A conspiracy to convert Hindus under the guise of prayer meetings has been exposed in Shahganj area. The Police have arrested eight people including the chief of the conversion gang Rajkumar Lalwani and 3 women. The accused used to invite people to prayer meetings under some pretext or the other. People were offered baits like curing them of their ailments and removing their poverty if they adopted Christianity. They used to force Hindus to discard the Deities’ idols from houses; cut the holy threads tied by Hindus on their wrists and prevent them from applying ‘Tilak’.

Dy Police Commissioner Sonam Kumar informed that a resident of Kedar Nagar, Mr Ghanashyam Hemlani lodged a complaint with the Police wherein Hemlani reported that a person named Rajkumar invited him to his house 2-3 times and took off the holy thread tied by him on his wrist and wiped his ‘Tilak’. Rajkumar also asked Hemlani to remove Deities’ idols from his house which raised doubts and he lodged a complaint. Police registered a case against Rajkumar and arrested him. Police seized 15 copies of the Bible, 3 books of Christian songs, 4 diaries, 8 registers, 6 cell phones, 2 cars and some cash from all the suspects.

The accused converted himself four years ago

The accused Rajkumar Lalwani had gone to Ulhasnagar in Maharashtra four years ago where he adopted Christianity. Afte returning home, he started converting people. He used to take them in confidence and remind them of Jesus for curing their ailments. He used to ask them to read the Bible and take money from them. In the prayer meetings held on Sundays, he used to talk against Hindu Dharma, advising Hindus not to believe in Hindu Dharma. He used to serve meat to Hindus for meals. He used to claim to cure problems of all family members and their illness if they adopted Christianity. With the help of the accused women, he used to act like getting possessed. Many times, he has collected  Rs 5,000-10,000 from people to cure them of their diseases. He used to talk about giving jobs to people in the organisations run by missionaries which used to trap people. Many people came in his contact and the Police are now collecting more information about him.

Editorial Perspectives

  • How can fanatic Christians dare to do such things in a devout Hindu State governed by Yogi Adityanath in Uttar Pradesh ? The Government should run bulldozers even on the houses of these people, to teach them a lesson.
  • Lack of ‘Dharmashikshan’ is the reason for conversion of Hindus. Hindu religious organisations should, therefore, take initiative in imparting ‘Dharmashikshan’ to all Hindus.
