Pune conversion case: UK-based OCI holder booked under new Maharashtra law

Pune Police registered an FIR against a UK OCI cardholder for alleged religious conversion attempts. The accused allegedly spoke about Jesus and made statements about Hindu deities. In a separate case, a 21-year-old man was arrested under the Maharashtra Freedom of Religion Act. This development follows a wider debate over religious conversion and foreign funding. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis stated that transparent organizations have nothing to fear.
