CHHATTISGARH, INDIA ANS — Two Christian families were attacked recently in a Rewadahi village.
According to a story reported on www.persecution.in, the incident occurred on June 16 at midnight.
According to the story, Christian converts Ramesh and Karthik were asleep, when they heard someone knocking at the door. When they went to see who was there, they saw a group of between 50 to 60 people from the Hindu radical group Bajarang Dal Monkey Brigade standing outside.
The story reported that the Hindu fundamentalists started attacking the two believers. The attack occurred two days before Karthik was going to get married to a girl from his community who had also accepted the Lord.
The story reported that the two should get married in a temple according to the customs of their local community, not in a Christian church.
The story on www.persecution.in also reported that following assault, the radicals continued on to another house, where a woman called Sagni, and her husband Prabhudas, live. Sagni and Prabhudas came to the Lord five years ago and now Sagni conducts prayer meeting in Rewadahi village. The Hindu radicals forced them out of their house, and began beating them.
The Hindu radicals then entered the couple’s house and took their earnings from the previous day. The money had been made selling rice. The alleged perpetrators then called the police, and said that the couple were converting people by force and destroying our community.
The police took them to a local police station, where they were held until late morning the next day.
The report on www.persecution.in said that when Sagni tried to tell the police that his money had been stolen by the complainants, the police pressured him and his wife instead and asked them how they obtained the funds.
Officers reportedly did not listen to his explanation.
