According to organizers, Dilip Das, a resident of the Nadiyapur-Shanicharra area, along with three members of his family, had earlier embraced Christianity after leaving Hinduism.

Among those present were Arpita Chakraborty, a member of the Hindu Milan Mandir Central Committee; Nirupam Gupta, president of the North Tripura division of the Hindu Rakshi Dal; organization spokesperson Pannalal Nath; and Jaylalthong Tripura, district vice-president of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP). Local social worker Dilip Tanti also attended the function.
During the ceremony, religious rituals were performed in accordance with Hindu traditions. Organizers stated that the purpose of the event was to facilitate the family’s return to Hinduism through established religious practices and customs.
Speaking on the occasion, the attending guests emphasized that the family’s decision was made entirely of their own free will. They stated that the move was based on personal belief and individual choice, and that the ceremony respected the constitutional principles of religious freedom and freedom of conscience.
