Members of the Hindutva armed group Bajrang Dal, wielding speakers blaring the slogan “We will make a Hindu nation, Jai Shri Ram,” attacked Christians who were praying inside a church in the national capital on Sunday.
The incident took place at Siyyon Prathna Bhawan in the Tahirpur area, The Wire reported.
The attackers also vandalized Bibles.
