BANGALORE: Mahadevapura police on Thursday arrested a 31-year-old trainee pastor for allegedly trying to convert 23 children, including 14 girls, during a summer camp here.

Victor Babu alias Victor, a native of Dharmavaram in Andhra Pradesh, was held following a complaint filed by a few parents. Police recovered prayer books, pamphlets and other material from him and registered a case under Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code.

Police said Victor was imparting religious lessons to the 23 children in the Hebron prayer hall in Kundalahalli near Whitefield. According to complainants, Victor told them he would run a month-long free summer camp for their children. The camp opened three days ago. A mini-bus (KA 03 D 8949) would pick up children from Mahadevapura, Kundalahalli and surrounding areas every day.

Victor said: "I taught them prayers and songs but that doesn't mean I was converting them." Parents claimed Victor offered education and other basic facilities to children if they (parents) accepted his conditions. But Victor didn't elaborate what his conditions were, they added.

Section 295A ,Pertains to deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs and suggests imprisonment for three years, or fine, or both.

Sunny 23/04/2012 03:50:37	Conversion good for India Dont confuse Conversion to sharing truth and love of God. The Truth is that It is Jesus Christ who loves sinners and forgives all our sins. We dont stop people from going to temple. We only tell them to obtain forgiveness for their sins. Overcome Evil with Good
Vinod 20/04/2012 10:15:15	Pastor arrested for ‘conversion bid’ IF they convert our children & people, give them a taste of their own medicine, convert christians into hindus... (using their cheap tricks :: like free healthcare, schools)) let them also know how we feel... silence is not golden...
Archpagan 20/04/2012 08:37:10	To GSK Menon Yes, and he may be made to swallow cow-dung to purify himself from the ill effects of a foreign religion. He should also be imparted the lesson than a country dog is better than a foreign god.
Gita 20/04/2012 06:12:47	Conversion Hindu parents should be more careful not only about summer camps but also about the schools where our children are studying. We Hindus have to become Hindu Missionaries for the next hundred years to keep our faith and religion alive.
GSK Menon 20/04/2012 02:24:39	Bangalore pastor Expel that convert pig from Karnataka. Whenever such converters are caught, the local Hindus should detain them, shave their heads, smear them with vibhuti, and make them to chant Om Namo Narayana, for 24 hours non stop.

Hindu culture is not such a weak and fluffy thing as to be easily stamped out; it has lasted through something like five millenniums and is going to carry on much longer and has quite enough power to survive.
