VHP beat up 25 priests for converting poor villagers in Maharashtra

Mumbai (Maharashtra): With broken ribs and a fractured leg, Father Victor Pareira is just one of the 25 victims, who were beaten up by members of Vanvasi Kalyan Parishad, an oraganisation affiliated to the VHP for attempt of conversion.

“My rib is fractured and my leg is broken. I am undergoing a lot of pain,” Pareira said

What is even more shocking is that the injured priest had to travel over 30 kilometers to meet the Director General of Police to demand justice as the local police station failed to act on his complaint.

“They (victims) have complained that the police did not take enough action. Therefore, I have instructed them to submit a report to me,” Director General of Police, Maharashtra, PS Pasricha said.

But this contingent of victims, which is led by the Vice-Chairman of the State Minorities Commission Abrahim Mathai raises a much bigger issue.
