Bhopal, Dec 15: In what appears to be a classic case of the police taking orders from the Bajrang Dal, six Christians have been booked for illegal religious conversion in Satna. 

The six Christians participating in a religious activity in Bhoomkhar village, about 15 km from Satna district headquarters, were booked on Thursday evening after Bajrang Dal activists created a ruckus at the civil lines police station and presented one man, identified as Dharmendra Dohar, as the one who had been converted to Christianity.

Dohar was even made to give a bite to the TC news crews in which he explained how he was made to take a dip in a pond before being told he had forsaken his parents and family and adopted a new faith.

All this, however, turned out to be a lie minutes after Bajrang Dal activists left the police station on Friday afternoon and Dohar was questioned by the media. 

Dohar in his interaction accepted that he in fact was a Bajrang Dal member for the past one year and had complained against the Christians under directions from his seniors.

On Whether he was converted to Christianity, Dohar said, "I will be trapped if I reveal the truth now. Because they will say that earlier you said something else and now you are saying this." 

Dohar was upset with the fact that his family members had to come to the police station and his partners in crime had left him alone.   

Bajrang Dal activists first created a ruckus at Bhoomkahar village about 15 km from Satna late on Thursday night alleging Christian missionaries were converting people at an event that had been going on in the village for the past several days. 

The Bajrang Dal activists also forcefully took 42 people to the Civil Lines police station demanding that a case be registered for religious conversion against them. 

A car was also allegedly set on fire by the agitating Bajrang Dal activists.

Police kept these 42 people in custody till Friday morning and registered a  case of religious conversion against six of them. 

None of these 42 people were allowed to speak while Dharmendra Dohar was allowed to speak to the media who alleged he was being coerced to change his religion.

Madhya Pradesh leader of opposition Ajay Singh too raised questions over functioning of the police. 

"It is Christmas time  and the Christians were taking out a procession and singing carols. The Bajrang Dal made it an issue of conversion and we have sent a delegation to the administration asking them if they want the Bajrang Dal to run the district," he said.

Bengaluru, May 3: Undergraduate and postgraduate students skipping online classes held by their universities run the risk of being debarred from writing their exams. 

State universities, which are monitoring the attendance of online classes, are asking their affiliate colleges to send the monthly online attendance details and this would reflect in their regular attendance. This would apply to those studying professional courses like medicine and engineering. 

State medical education minister Dr K Sudhakar has asked all medical colleges to regularly send attendance details to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS).

RGUHS vice-chancellor Dr Sachidanand confirmed to DH that the varsity is indeed monitoring the attendance of students. “Online classes are equal to classroom teaching. (Such method of conducting classes) are necessary during the Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown,” he said.

According to the Supreme Court directions, students should have 75% attendance to be eligible to appear for the final exams. There could be relaxations if they have health issues. If students are bunking online classes, it would reflect on their minimum attendance necessary to appear for the exams, the vice-chancellors of state-run varsities said.

Bangalore University vice-chancellor Prof K R Venugopal said most of the students are attending online classes and teachers are messaging the parents of those who are irregular. “(Of course) if they fall short of the minimum attendance, they won’t be allowed to appear for the exams,” he said.

Bengaluru North University vice-chancellor Prof T D Kemparaju said the administration has asked its teachers to record details of students attending online classes and update the university.

Mixed signals 

Meanwhile, the University Grants Commission (UGC) on Wednesday issued guidelines directing all universities to treat the lockdown period as “deemed as attended” for students and research scholars. Experts pointed out that the order would prompt students not to take the online classes seriously.

“Arrangements have been made at the state varsities to make students attend online classes compulsorily and students are also serious about it. Now, because of the UGC guidelines, they may bunk classes,” said the vice-chancellor of a state-run university.
