The railway police in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi have arrested two persons in connection with a case of Kerala nuns being forcefully deboarded from a train on March 19, NDTV reported on Friday.
“In the case of forceful deboarding of nuns and teenagers from coach B-2 of Utkal Express at Jhansi railway station on 19 March 2021, the district administration and police administration have detained Anchal Arjaria and Purgesh Amaria for involvement in the incident,” a statement from the Jhansi administration said. “Against will be taken against others also.”
On March 24, reports said that two nuns and two postulants from Kerala were forced to get off a train by the railway police in Jhansi for interrogation, after members of Hindutva group Bajrang Dal accused them of illegal conversions. A purported video of the incident, which was widely circulated on social media on the same day, showed a group of men interrogating two postulants who were with the nuns.
When one of the postulants told them that she was born a Christian and had not been forced into converting, the men accused the girl of lying. The men also forced the postulants to show their Aadhaar cards and other identity proof.
