US National Arrested in Maharashtra for Illegal Religious Conversion | Bhiwandi Prayer Meet Probe

Описание: In a startling development from Maharashtra’s Bhiwandi, a 58-year-old American citizen, James Watson, along with two Indian nationals—Sainath Sarpe and Manoj Kolha—has been arrested for allegedly conducting unauthorized religious conversions. The trio reportedly held a prayer gathering in Chimbipada village, where they distributed Christian literature, performed “healing sessions,” and claimed that embracing Christianity could cure illnesses and bring prosperity. A local resident’s complaint led police to uncover claims that Hinduism was based on superstition, triggering legal action under multiple laws including those for hurting religious sentiments, visa violations, and Maharashtra’s anti-black magic act.
Authorities are now investigating whether this was an isolated incident or part of a larger network. With a foreign national involved, American consular officials are expected to be notified. All three accused remain in custody as the probe deepens. The case has sparked debate over religious freedom, visa misuse, and the ethics of spiritual healing practices. Stay tuned for updates as investigators trace the origins and possible international links of this controversial gathering.#BhiwandiConversionCase #JamesWatsonArrest #ReligiousConversion #MaharashtraNews #IllegalConversions #VisaViolation
