A four-day Vacation Bible School (VBS) programme attended by 200 local children was disrupted and the venue vandalised by a mob of Hindu extremists in an area known as Prem Nagar in the capital city of Delhi on 4 June.
The incident took place on the last day of the VBS programme, run from 1–4 June by the Children's Gospel Club. The programme was organised in an open space on the street in front of church member Mahesh Kumar’s house.
A mob of about 40 activists from Bajrang Dal (a militant Hindu organisation that forms the youth wing of the Vishva Hindu Parishad) stormed the venue.
