The accused were booked under Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act. The UP cops had told mediapersons then that they had recovered a register from the accused. The register had details of over 1,000 persons and names and addresses mentioned in the register were of persons from Maharashtra, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi.
