Rourkela (Orissa in India), (SVM News), November 20, 2006: Pastor Ashis Kumar Muna, 25 years old, was arrested on November 15 for praying over a sick woman at Jhirpani of Rourkela Steel City in Orissa. Police charged him with the forced conversion of Hindus to Christianity. He was denied bail by the court and is currently being held in a local jail.
Muna was pastoring in the Church at Jhirpani of Rourkela Steel City. His father Rev. P.K. Muna is the Senior Pastor at the same Church.

Mr. Hridananda Majhi, the uncle of young pastor asked him to go with him to a Hindu family to pray for the lady of the house, who was suffering from TB and kidney problems. Ashish did not know that she was the wife of a VHP Dist. Co-ordinator, Mr. Jibardhana Chouhan.
The daughters of the sick lady reacted, and claimed that he was forcibly trying to make them Christians. The police arrested Pastor Ashis Kumar Muna and charged with forcefully converting them to Christianity.

Based on the complaint, the Police filed a case bearing no. 2204/06 dtd.15.11.06 at Uditnagar Police station of Rourkela against Pastor Ashis Kumar Muna under IPC 448, 354 & 295A & produced him before the Sub-Judge. The Court rejected the Bail petition filed on his behalf and sent him to the Jail. This case is going to be presented on November 22, 2006 for further consideration of the said Court.
