Mangalore, March 9: An 18-year-old boy has accused Jillu, a Christian entrepreneur, of attempting to forcibly convert him to Christianity.

The complainant Nithin says that he was going to his room from Cold House, a juice center in Kankanady where he worked, when Jillu arrived on a motorbike and offered to give him a lift. Instead, Jillu took him to his house, slapped him across the face, and told him that he has to accept Christianity. When he refused, he was locked into a room and said that he will not be given any food or water till he converts to Christianity.


Nithin further said that he escaped from the house at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday when Jillu’s wife opened the door. Nithin has also accused Jillu of forcibly taking away a mobile phone and Rs. 500 from his pocket.


Nithin’s father, Damodar Shetty of Golithotte, said that his son was not even wearing a shirt when he escaped from his abductor’s house. Mr. Shetty says that he caught Route No. 31 and called him from State Bank from a coin phone booth and told him the entire story. Reportedly, Nithin had only Rs. 5 in his pocket when he escaped. He spent Rs 4 on the bus ticket and used the remaining Re. 1 to make a call to his father. Mr. Shetty said that he picked his son up at the State Bank bus stand.


Nithin lodged a complaint at the Urwa Police Station on Wednesday. His father, a group of Sangh Parivar activists, and BJP activists accompanied him. The police have registered a case and are currently conducting investigation.
