They would move High Court for bail, says activistA South Korean woman and three Uttar Pradesh residents accused under the new ordinance of allegedly trying to entice two Hindu women to convert to Christianity were denied bail by a local court in Gautam Buddha Nagar. They claimed they had nothing to do with any conversion and that three of them belonged to the Hindu faith. The government counsel further submitted that the four had violated the clause in the ordinance criminalising “mass conversion”. As per Section 2 (f) of the ordinance, “mass conversion” means two or more persons were converted. In an order dated January 21, Pawan Pratap Singh, additional sessions judge (I), Gautam Buddha Nagar, denied bail to the four.
