October 5, 2011 8 Christians Arrested in Andhra Pradesh Andhra Pradesh police charged eight Christians with "promoting enmity" under Section 153 (A) of the Indian Penal Court after alleged Hindu extremist Adepu Venugopal filed a complaint against them of forceful conversion on Sept. 23 in Karimnagar district. According to our correspondent, the Christians of Brethren Church in Kerala came to proclaim the gospel of Christ in some villages after obtaining permission from the Karimnagar superintendent of police. While they were preaching in Donoor and Dharmapuri villages, the Hindu extremist mob suddenly surrounded them and then filed the complaint of forceful conversion. The extremists took the Christians to the police station, and the Christians were charged with "promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion." The Christians were sent to jail; area Christian leaders were taking steps to obtain bail for them. |
