Relief for Kerala nuns: NIA court grants bail in trafficking and conversion case
An NIA court has granted bail to two Kerala nuns and a third accused in an alleged human trafficking and forced conversion case, providing significant relief. The bail was granted on the condition of a 50,000 rupee bond each, and they are required to surrender their passports, prohibiting them from leaving the country. The case had ignited a major political controversy, creating what was described as a "clear drift that was also visible between both the units, BJP units of the southern state of Kerala, as well as the central state of Chhattisgarh." The arrests followed a ruckus at the Durg Railway Station initiated by Bajrang Dal protesters. In a further development, the women at the center of the allegations are now reportedly planning to lodge a complaint against the protesters for harassment.
