Huge ruckus was created in Bairagarh area, where members of Hindu outfits claimed that during school prayer, the preacher and others were using improper language against Hindu deities. The matter was reported to Bairagarh police.
Police station in-charge DP Singh told Free Press that the members of a Hindu organisation approached them and raised the issue that in the CMS school, religious conversion is taking place.
When police reached the school, it was found that the preacher was giving lecture on religious teachings and using derogatory statements against Hindu deities.
