Ghaziabad (UP), Nov 24: A maulvi was arrested here on Friday for allegedly scaring a woman into converting to Islam by telling her doing so will free her from evil powers, police said.

ACP Nandgram Ravi Kumar Singh said that the maulvi was arrested from the Morti village tri-section. During interrogation, Sarfraz told police that he had been practising exorcism in the area for the last eight years and forced sick people into adopting Islam, Singh said. (PTI)
