According to the police, a preliminary investigation has not revealed any religious conversion angle to the incident.
Ashok Mahawar, who was present at the meeting, said “We had assembled to offer prayers to Jesus Christ and were singing hymns. The people present weren’t even Christian. We are Hindu, but are just devotees of Jesus Christ. Around this time, a crowd of around 100 local residents interrupted the prayer meeting and told us that we shouldn’t take the name of Jesus.”
“We reached the spot after getting information about the incident. The people who had interrupted the prayer meeting gave us a written complaint against the people who were part of it.
