A first information report has been lodged against sixteen individuals in Rajasthan, accusing them of offering a ₹1 lakh inducement and applying pressure to facilitate religious conversions.
The Rajasthan police have registered a first information report against sixteen persons for allegedly offering a cash inducement of one lakh rupees to influence religious conversions. The FIR cites that the accused used financial incentives and pressure tactics to persuade individuals to change their faith.
The case emerges amid a broader conversion controversy in the state, where authorities have been vigilant about alleged proselytising activities. Officials say the investigation will examine the network of individuals involved and the methods used to distribute the alleged payments.
If the investigation substantiates the claims, the accused could face charges under the state's anti-conversion law, which penalises inducement and coercion in matters of faith. The police have indicated that further inquiries are underway to identify any additional participants.
