An incident from Muria village in the Bhalpatti police station area of Bihar’s Darbhanga has been making headlines. Two locals, Rajdhan Devi and Vicky Kumar, have claimed that they hail from the only Hindu family in the village, and were being pressured to convert to Islam. Kumar accused Mohammed Guddu and his five brothers, including Mohammed Laddu, of coercing them and also claimed that he was beaten by the accused and objectionable things were also thrown at his house. He complained to district magistrate Rajeev Roshan about the Muslim family barging inside his house, creating a ruckus, and harassing him. While speaking to <\/span>Dainik Bhaskar<\/span><\/a>, Vicky claimed that his house was being forcibly occupied by a group of Muslims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
