MP School Vandalised: Priest Calls Conversion 'Fake News', Teachers Recall Horror

A day after St Joseph School, in Ganj Basoda, in Madhya Pradesh's Vidisha district, was gheraoed by members of right-wing groups, including those belonging to the Bajrang Dal, over allegations of religious conversion, teachers recounted the attack to The Quint. Slogans were raised, and stones pelted at the school building, putting class 12 students who were taking their exams, at risk as stones smashed through the windows of classrooms, forcing them to evacuate. So far, the MP police has said that there is no evidence of conversion prima facie. Three among the 11 who were arrested have been sent to jail on charges of rioting and mischief.
