Most cases of conversion in MP false, minority panel VC says

INDORE: More than 150 cases of alleged high-handedness by the police, particularly against minorities, were taken up by vice-chairman of National Commission for Minorities, Dr HT Sangliana, here on Thursday.

Talking to TOI, Sangliana said that a large number of cases of conversion have been registered by the police in the state. However, almost all the cases are false, he claimed demanding investigation into the cases by senior police officials.

Pointing out police insensitivity towards real victims in such cases, he said the police are turning a blind eye towards their atrocities and many a time false complaints are being made with vested interests.

Sangliana said that an impression is being created that the state police is not discharging its duties because the accused are said to be close to the political party in power.
