Tension erupted in Nilgiri on Thursday after villagers detained three individuals and tied them to trees. The incident took place at Gobardhanpur village in Kepilakharaj panchayat of Balasore district. According to reports, the villagers caught the trio red-handed while they were allegedly trying to convert members of the local tribal community to Christianity.
The three individuals, identified as Gobind Singh, Subasini Singh, and Sukanti Singh, were accused of convincing tribal families to change their religion. The villagers, along with members of a local organization called Debasena, were quick to take action. They not only assaulted the accused but also tied them to trees before handing them over to the police in Nilgiri.
The incident came to light when villagers noticed unusual activities at Gobind Singh's residence. They found preparations for a meal, including meat and rice, along with a cake adorned with the words "Merry Christmas". This raised suspicion that the accused were conducting a conversion ceremony. The villagers wasted no time in taking matters into their own hands and punishing the accused for their alleged actions.
The situation escalated quickly, and the police were informed about the incident. They arrived at the spot and took the three individuals into custody for further investigation. Badal Kumar Panda, the president of Debasena's Nilgiri branch, was also present at the scene. He, along with the villagers, played a crucial role in bringing the matter to light and taking action against the accused.
The police have initiated an investigation into the matter, and the three individuals are being questioned about their involvement in the alleged conversion attempt. The incident has caused tension in the village, and the community is on high alert to prevent any further attempts of religious conversion. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and strict action will be taken against anyone found guilty of trying to coerce or manipulate individuals into changing their faith.
