A church event in Uttar Pradesh's Maharajganj district was stopped by the police on Friday after the right-wing group Hindu Yuva Vahini alleged that religious conversion was being carried out. The event was being attended by over 150 people, including 10 American tourists. The youth brigade, set up in 2002 by Yogi Adityanath who is now Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, filed a complaint against Yohannan Adam, the pastor of the church, accusing him of converting Hindus to Christianity, a charge the pastor denied.
