An FIR has been filed after a 65-year-old man from Baghaura Bypass area alleged he was coerced into converting from Hinduism to Islam, police reported on Wednesday.

According to the complaint lodged by Gopi Ahirwar, years ago, Reshma deceived him, allegedly forced him to convert, and sold land without properly allocating the proceeds.

Authorities are actively investigating while locals conducted a 'ghar wapsi' ceremony, reinstating the individual's Hindu faith amidst calls for strict action against forced conversions.
