A tense situation unfolded in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, after a local Christian preacher, identified as Prempal Jatav, was caught allegedly trying to convert villagers through a mix of financial incentives and questionable promises.
According to local reports, Jatav was actively targeting vulnerable villagers, allegedly offering them a monthly stipend of ₹15,000 if they agreed to convert to Christianity. To make the offer even more enticing to those struggling with health issues, he also claimed that switching faiths would miraculously cure their chronic diseases.
The Flashpoint: Insults and Activist Intervention
The situation escalated significantly when Jatav reportedly began making derogatory remarks about Hindu deities during his sessions. His comments didn't sit well with the locals, and word quickly spread.
Before things could spiral out of hand, a group of Hindu activists caught wind of the operation. They confronted Jatav on the spot and immediately tipped off the local police, who arrived to take control of the situation and detain the preacher for further questioning.
What's Next? Local authorities are currently investigating the matter to verify the claims of forced or induced conversion under the state's strict anti-conversion laws.
