The arrest of two nuns from Kerala, in connection with a controversial case of alleged human trafficking and forceful religious conversion in Chhattisgarh, has ignited a political firestorm. A tribal woman, purported victim in the case, alleges coercion and assault by Bajrang Dal activists to fabricate her testimony.
Kamleshwari Pradhan, a 21-year-old resident of Narayanpur, refuted claims of trafficking, stating she traveled willingly with consent from her parents. She alleged police mishandled her statement, leading to misrepresentations of the actual events.
The controversy deepens as Bajrang Dal continues to deny all allegations. The arrests have led to political outrage, and the sessions court's decision highlights jurisdictional complexities in the case.
