Echoing the rhetoric used by the Attackers to justify the violence nightmare, Pandey investigates a church attack that took place in early October in BJP ruled Uttarakhand, one of the states which not long ago passed an anti conversion bill. The church was left in ruins. Those present were beaten from the filed by church officials. It emerges that a number of suspects had links to the BJP and, surprisingly, two months on.

Others claimed they were offered lakhs of rupees to convert. When they refused, conversion charge goes hit them, but Sagna Porter denies these charges. Merah Carta, Mary Pension Such all time everybody, Betty's of the Engineer or Scope Assani and Bill. Moreover, there are multiple contradictions in the versions of those claiming illegal conversion. So nominee for says she arrived at the church at eight AM with Rahul Mohit and others. They were urged to convert. They all tried to leave at 8 30 or nine AM and were attacked by churchgoers, but NDTV spoke to Rahul and Mohit. Rahul said he arrived at the judge at 11 30 AM and was abused by churchgoers. Mohit said he arrived at the church between 10 30 11 AM. Not only do the complainants contradict themselves, that timeline does not match the sequence of events, while some of them say they arrived at the charge only around 11 AM, Sad in a porter and the police say the attack happened earlier at 10 AM and it ended by 10 30 by which time the police had arrived.
