MOODBIDRI, India — A group of Hindu extremists attacked the pastor of an independent church during a house prayer meeting and had him arrested on charges of "forced conversion" March 27 in Moodbidri in the state of Karnataka, in the Dakshina Kannada district of India. The assailants forced the Christians at the meeting to leave before they beat the pastor, who received internal injuries.
Later, they filed a complaint against Raj, alleging that he was "forcibly" converting Hindus. The police promptly arrested Raj, who was later released on bail. "When the pastor told the police to file his complaint against the attackers, they refused to do so," said Sajan K. George, national president of the Global Council of Indian Christians.
