Fears for British church leader charged over religion conversion in India

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestylePankaj Devnoor (Pankaj Devnoor/Facebook)British church leader Pankaj Devnoor is facing legal action in Pune, India, after being accused of attempting to convert Hindus to Christianity during a church event. The case was initially registered under Maharashtra's new anti-conversion law, but authorities later realised the legislation was not yet in force. Indian police intend to drop the anti-conversion charges but may still pursue legal action against Mr Devnoor under immigration regulations. Mr Devnoor has been granted interim bail on condition that he remains in India and reports regularly to a local police station. His family in Manchester have launched a fundraiser to support his legal defence and say they fear for his safety after his personal details were published.
