Karkala, Dec 11, 2013 : Two women who were allegedly propagating Christianity in Nitte Kalambady area  were  taken into custody by the police on December 10, Tuesday and later released after making them sign a bond.

This incident has been reported close on the heels of  the detention of 13 men from Gujarat who were seen in Nallur Peralke area a few days ago and were engaged in the task of disseminating Islamic ideals. Even they were  released after an enquiry.

The two women who were taken into custody on Tuesday were identified as Indu Shekhar and Chitra. Both were found distributing hand outs and booklets on Christianity in Nitte  Kalambadipadavu. It is learnt,the duo had visited the house of one Amaravani and had  offered the  family members  some  handouts after persuading  them for conversion. As the news spread like wild fire  Bhajrangdal activists rushed to the spot. The Rural Police too wasted no time and took the two women to custody. Later the two women were let free after they signed a bond stating “We have come not to convert anyone, but only to propagate our religion.” 

Hindu outfits  angry : Meanwhile, the Karkala unit  of the VHP and the Bhajrangdal have  condemned the failure of the police to take action against the duo even when there was a  systematic racket of conversion of  innocent Hindus to Islam and Christianity. Mahesh Bailur, Taluk Convenor of Bhajrangdal has said the organisations would resort to protest against police inaction.
