When the Vishwa Hindu Parishad activists came to know about the conversion incident, they caught Kidangalil and handed him over to Police. This incident took place on 24th June 2023. Cash, documents, Bible etc. were seized from Kidangalil.

Editorial Viewpoints

A foreign national comes to India and converts Hindus, but how come the intelligence agencies do not know about him ? The Government should also investigate this.
