On 14 June, a month after a crowd of Hindus from Hunter village, Palamu district in Jharkhand state, summoned 25 Christians, tied up six of them and beat them with sticks, some of the assailants came across one of the Christians and asked if he was still worshipping Christ.
When Gunni Bhuiya told them he still believed in and worshipped Christ, the Hindu extremists manhandled him and threatened to kill him. ‘They told Bhuiya that, as the Christians are still worshipping Christ even after they had received severe beatings, they were now going to kill them’, area pastor Sanjay Kumar Ravi said.
Threats
Area Christians are living in fear as the Hindu extremist forbid them to worship, boycott them economically and threaten to kill them, while police threatened to fine them if they continued worshipping publicly.
