Agra: Even before the Ved Nagar conversion row could die down, Hindutva outfits questioned the working of Catholic organisations in Etmadpur tehsil of Agra where, they alleged, a few people had been persuaded to convert to Christianity on the promise of jobs, higher education and a better life.
Activists of Hindutva outfits, led by former parliamentarian S P Singh Baghael, today interacted with hundreds of villagers to collect information on the alleged conversion.

Though the Hindutva groups claimed that they had identified more than a dozen people who had been persuaded to convert to Christianity, police and the villagers denied any such development.
The Hindutva leaders said they were screening more than a hundred villagers in the area to identify the converts. “We have to be active and keep a watch as all kinds of promises were being made to the villagers. So far they (Catholic organisations) have not succeeded,” said Manoj Sharma, a local Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader.
