Tension has engulfed Velera village in the Palasbari area of Kamrup district following allegations that a group of unidentified individuals attempted to convert local Hindu residents to Christianity using enticement and threats. Sources reveal that this group has been active in trying to persuade locals to convert for some time, though residents have resisted these efforts, leading to heightened frictions and unrest in the community.
The situation escalated after Christian symbols reportedly appeared in the village, which prompted local residents to inform law enforcement authorities. In response, the police arrived promptly at the scene and apprehended five individuals suspected of being involved in the conversion attempts. Those arrested include Jayanta Das, Nayan Das, Hiten Das, Dhiraj Das, and Ashim Rabha. The Palasbari police have registered a case (494/24) against the group and have launched a thorough investigation into the matter.
Residents of Velera village are demanding strict action against these alleged attempts at forced conversion, and there is a growing mistrust towards any unfamiliar persons in the area. As the police continue their investigations, the community remains on edge, awaiting further developments.
