In his complaint, Nannu Singh stated that around a year ago, individuals associated with a Christian missionary visited them, lured him with money, and converted him to Christianity. He claimed he was gradually drawn in by their tempting promises and even convinced people in the surrounding villages to join them. Over time, the pressure from these individuals grew, causing him significant distress.

According to the complaint, the accused promised monetary rewards for recruiting more people. They allegedly forced the complainant to hold a Bible and drink a red-colored liquid, which left him feeling guilty and remorseful. This led him to reconsider his decision and return to his original Sanatan Dharma.

The victim identified the accused as Lalji Jedang, son of Lal Mukim, a resident of HK 148, Aizawl Municipal, Katsila, Mizoram, and Vanlal Huma, son of Bhaumleana, a resident of Gosainganj, Lucknow. He filed a request for strict action against them under severe charges.
