Lucknow/IBNS: The Uttar Pradesh government Tuesday passed a stringent bill to amend an anti-conversion law, making punishments harsher for those found guilty.

The Yogi Adityanath-led government passed an amendment to the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act in the assembly.

The anti-conversion law, which earlier had a maximum punishment of maximum 10 years alongside a fine of Rs. 50,000 for fraudulent or forced conversion, will now have stricter punishments like life imprisonment.

The new changes to the law be implemented on anyone who threatens, attacks, marries, promises to marry, conspires, or traffics a woman, minor or any person with the intention of conversion.

These offenses have been categorised as severe crimes. Such offences will lead to a punishment of 20 years of life imprisonment.
