BIJAPUR, KARNATAKA STATE, INDIA — A pastor and his wife have been arrested on charges of conversion on Thursday, August 9th, in the Bijapur district of Karnataka State, India.

As they went around they came across a man who runs a grocery store in the area. This person requested Pastor Paul to visit his house.
