'Forced Conversion' Row: Mob Vandalises Church, Damages Statues in Chhattisgarh | The Quint

On Monday, 2 January 2023, a protest organised by a group of tribals, led by right wing leaders, in Narayanpur district over alleged ‘forced ‘conversion of members of tribal community into Christianity turned violent, leaving a church vandalised.

An FIR has been lodged against 40+ people, and 9 others, including BJP's Narayanpur district president Roop Sai Salam, have been arrested so far.

A video of the incident captured a man vandalising a statue of Virgin Mary installed on the premises of the church. Another statue of Jesus Christ was damaged in the incident, too.
