A Catholic nun has been charged with abducting tribal girls for religious conversion in India.
Sr Beena Joseph, a member of the Carmelite Sisters of St Teresa congregation, was on her way to the Madhya Pradesh state capital of Bhopal from the eastern state of Jharkhand along with four tribal girls.
She was accused of taking them for conversion, following allegations by a Hindu activist that she had abducted 25 girls for conversion.
Sr Joseph denies the allegations.
