On March 19, four nuns were harassed during a train journey for alleged religious conversion. The nuns said the attempt was made during a trip to bring home two Odisha natives who were training as nuns. The two companions were not dressed in church attire because they were students. The attackers alleged that they were being taken away to convert. The students said they came from a Christian family, but the harassment went unheeded.
