Bhubaneswar: A Hindutva mob stormed a church in a village in Odisha state, assaulting members of the tribal Christian community and preventing them from conducting worship.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the incident took place in Kapina village of Nabarangpur district.<\/p>\n

The attackers used loudspeakers to threaten the Christians, warning that the church would be demolished and the community expelled from the village if they continued their religious activities.<\/p>\n

When the Christians questioned why they were being stopped from praying, the mob attacked them and forcibly drove them out, a Times of India report said. Two Christian youths, 17-year-old Jala Dharsanta and 20-year-old Mohan Santa, were beaten severely.<\/p>\n

Police have not yet taken any action against the perpetrators, dismissing the incident by citing pre-existing tensions between two groups in the village.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
