Pastor Cyril Tamgariaand 18 others were worshiping in the house of Badhi Oraon when Hindu extremists surrounded the house. They beat them, took them forcibly to a temple in a nearby jungle and asked them to “return” to their oldf aith. Local Christians reported the incident to police, however, and officers freed the Christians.
