ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA ANS — A pastor and a vehicle brake inspector were attacked by Hindus belonging to a variety of radical parties. Auto union members also joined in the alleged assault.
During the June 12 assault, the groups alleged forced conversion activities.
According to a report on www.christiancouncil.in, inspector Ramesh Babu is known for his thorough inspections of vehicles and requiring documentation. This, the story said, has upset many drivers.
According to the story, Pastor John Mohan was also threatened several times by the activists before the attack, and was asked not to preach the gospel in the area.
The story reported that as both the pastor and the brake inspector are friends, the Hindu radicals and auto union members collaborated and attacked the two men.
The story stated that the brake inspector is not a Christian
According to the story, “It is because of his strict application of the rules that the brake inspector became a target. Now in the name of conversion activities, they want the inspector to be fired, and cause problems for the pastor,” a source told the story writer.
According to the web site, the media “twisted” the incident, and reported it differently.
Subsequent to the attack, the radicals staged a protest which necessitated their being dispersed by the police.
