For instance, people visiting 'dargahs' for fulfillment of wishes were easy targets for religious conversion, the officials added.

The wishes of such people ranged from the desire to have children, cure long-term illness as well as achieve financial and professional growth, the officials further said.

Besides, some Hindu women and families with liberal religious beliefs were also on the radar of the conversion nexus for gradually brainwashing them to convert to Islam, the officials added.

Senior police officials confirmed that the two key accused in the conversion nexus case made similar disclosures during their interrogation since Thursday afternoon.
