However, they alleged that around 6 P.M that four Hindutva group members returned to the Church and “started abusing” the worshipers. Outside the church, the Chrisitian members say there “were many small groups standing on the road”. They were told that more “armed Bajrang Dal boys are coming” and altered the police handing over a miscreant who had entered the Church in the evening.
The Christian group alleged that while they headed to the police station for the second time some alleged Bajrang Dal members attacked their cars. While no one was hurt the car windows were broken. However, the Christian group was also informed that a counter FIR against the Church had also been filed. According to a report in The Quint, a police officer said that an “FIR has also been filed against those who were present in the church for violating DDMA guidelines” and another FIR has been filed against those accused of vandalism and for causing public nuisance.
