India: pastor found dead

Gideon Periyaswamy

The body of a pastor was found hanging from the roof of his house in late January, a week after he complained to police about opposition from Hindu extremists.

Congregation members found Gideon Periyaswamy hanging in his one-room house. It looked as if others had placed him in the noose after his death, due to the way his body hung.

Periyaswamy was converted from Hinduism 25 years ago and served as pastor in the area for more than 12 years. His close friend Pastor Reuben said the local Hindus had tried many times to stop the ministry.
