7 injured after attack on Christian prayer house in Karnataka


March 11, 2013 - Seven people were injured last week when Hindu right-wing activists allegedly attacked a Christian prayer house in southern India’s Karnataka state on suspicion of conversion. A senior police official of Udupi district said that Bajrang Dal activists attacked the prayer group at Moodubelle on March 7, after the activists had lodged a police complaint against a man, accusing him of indulging in conversion. Superintendent of Police D R Boralingaiah said the group of Bajrang Dal activists barged into the man's residence, also a prayer house, and assaulted the people gathered there. Nineteen of the attackers have been arrested, he said. The coastal districts of Udupi and Mangalore had in the past seen attacks on churches triggered by suspicion that they were carrying out conversion.
