Anti-conversion law: UP makes first arrest
NEW DELHI: Three days after registering the first case under the newly-promulgated anti-conversion law, police in Bareilly on Wednesday arrested the accused who was “hiding due to fear of being shot in an encounter”.
Uwaish Ahmad, 22, was booked on Sunday, hours after the UP’s ordinance against “forced” religious conversion came into effect. Ahmad is the first to be arrested under Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance, 2020.
He allegedly threatened to kidnap and convert a married woman.
