Six carol singers have been arrested in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh after a man accused them of trying to convert him to Christianity.
The state has some of the strictest anti‑conversion laws in India.
According to BBC News one of those arrested was a professor at a Catholic theological college.
The group said it was only visiting villages to sing songs.
A car used by the carol singers was also set on fire, allegedly by right‑wing activists.
Police have also filed a case against those accused of torching the car.
