NEW DELHI — Three evangelists in India have been accused of fraudulent conversion though no formal charges have been filed.
Church leaders believe the accusations are rooted only in the desire to harass the Christians, who came together in the Khajuwala area in May to proclaim Christ to villagers.
Pastor Kasiram Meghwal, evangelist Sahiram Nayak and Pastor Vijender Singh were arrested May 20 and obtained bail. They were jailed again May 24 under a statute against “outraging religious feelings.” Their plea for bail was denied.
Singh said they held a Sunday worship service inside the prison May 27 and told the convicts about Christ. (MS)
