A sessions court had earlier disposed of the bail application reasoning that the matter should be heard by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur district.
The nuns, Preeti Marry and Vandana Francis, and one more person, Sukaman Mandavi, were arrested last Friday at the Durg railway station in Chhattisgarh on allegations that they were involved in forceful conversion and human trafficking.
The FIR, registered under sections of the Chhattisgarh Religious Freedom Act and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, was based on a complaint by a local Bajrang Dal worker, who alleged that the accused forcibly converted three women from Narayanpur district and were attempting to traffic them.
