Woman Arrested in Uttar Pradesh for Alleged Forced Religious Conversion Attempt
In Uttar Pradesh, the police arrested a woman named Pramila.
A man named Dhruv Chandra complained that Pramila had been trying to convince him to change his religion from Hinduism to Christianity for a long time.
He said she offered him money and other good things to make him convert.
Even after he said no, she kept trying to persuade him.
Dhruv told the police he has a video of this and that Pramila has already convinced others to change their religion.
The police arrested Pramila and she has been taken to court.
Her husband reportedly did not like her actions either.
A 32-year-old woman, Pramila, was arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Mirzapur district on Saturday, November 7, 2025.
The arrest followed a complaint filed by a Hindu Dalit labourer named Dhruv Chandra.
Chandra alleged that Pramila repeatedly attempted to persuade him to convert from Hinduism to Christianity, offering money and other inducements.
Pramila has been charged under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021.
