3 Christians, including pastor, arrested in India for outreach to Hindus

Three Christians, including a pastor, were arrested in northern India under a controversial anti-conversion law for allegedly trying to convert Hindus to Christianity through “inducements.” The arrests in Uttar Pradesh came days after the country’s top court criticized the state for misusing the law to harass members of the minority community. Police in Bareilly district arrested Pastor Sumit Masey, Amit Masey, also known as Akshay Masey, and a woman identified only as Sarita following a complaint. A fourth accused, Satyapal, remains missing, reports Press Trust of India, citing police officials.
