Bhopal, Apr 28: In a bizarre incident, a team of police accompanied by a gang of Bajrang Dal miscreants stormed a church to prevent a wedding ceremony and arrested at least 10 people including the groom's parents and the priest.
The incident occurred at the Church of God in India' at Satna in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Coincidentally, the cops also found a better reason to justify their act as the girl was 10 days short of turning 18.
CSP (Satna) Sitaram Yadav said that even though the couple had converted to Christianity four years ago, district authorities were not informed, which is a crime under this BJP ruled state's anti-conversion legislation. Satna SP Mithilesh Shukla also claimed that the girl is “a Hindu and a minor”.
“Bajrang Dal informed police that members of the Kushwaha community were being converted to Christianity at the church. We registered an FIR on a complaint by the bride's uncle (who is also a Sangh Parivar member),” Yadav said. Asked why the bride's father did not complain, the cop said that he is not mentally sound.
The groom, Ajay Kushwaha, 24, works with a private firm. Besides Sections 3 and 4 of the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, police have invoked IPC Section 295 (A) (deliberate and malicious act intended to outrage religious feelings) and Section 14 of the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.
Rubbishing the charges as false, Church spokesman Mariyosh Joseph said the bride and groom were Christians. He said that 10 innocent people including pastor Sam Samuel and the groom's parents were arrested by the police. The Bajrang Dal and the RSS were behind the incident, he added.

Hahahaha...
According to a sanghi/Bhakt , Police were following the law by considering the Girl's age. Then the Boy & the girl were also following the law, by converting to the religion of their choice -it's a fundamental right!
Saffron terror
Yeh Qanoon ke Rakhwaaley Ghaer Qanooni Tareeqon se Qanooni Kaam Karene se Khoob Roktey hain Aur Afsos yeh hai ke Qaanoon in ka kuch Bigaad Naheen Paata.
down down bajrangi,
Govt must give all the bajji guys a govt job, then they will not disturb anybody :P
Most backward state mentally
Both of them accepted christianity over 4 years ago...then how police could arrest them now ? Do they have proof that they were being converted forcefully ? How police could arrest 10 persons along with bride and groom on the complaints of HINDUTVA Radicals ? .....It seems this HINDUTVA Bustards and their boot licking police force are the Indian Version of Talibans.....Bunch of scoundrels and also Anti Indians turnishing the image of the nation India...
This is expected when the government is corrupt and communal
BJP? RSS must know ,, that,, if u wanna force something about faith on a individual ... u r going to fail. Instead u must start preaching yr faith in a way that people don't leave hindusim.. thats the task BJP/RSS must work on.
BJP and its allies do Gundagiri all throughout India. They are nothing but low -life communal thugs and nothing else.
Good Job police. Church should be careful before doing anything. This is not goondagiri. They have taken the help of police. Intentions are in questions but in this case okay.
its totally wrong to enter the church and police also supported. bajji now with whom we have to complained about this. jesus will punish u both.
