Government Railway Police (GRP) detained two nuns, Sister Preeti Mary and Sister Vandana Francis of the Green Garden Sisters, at the Durg Railway Station in Durg, a town in the state of Chhattisgarh on July 25.
The two nuns were reportedly accompanying three girls and an adult tribal boy from Narayanpur, in the Diocese of Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, allegedly enroute to Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Chhattisgarh has a population of around 30 million people and is over 93 percent Hindu. Less than 2 percent of the people are Christian.
