“At 6 am in the morning, a church staff reported the damage to his pastor who then informed the police. We are scouting for clues from the CCTV footage recorded by nearby cameras. Prima facie looks like it is a theft, as they have made away with money, and also with one collection box that was placed outside the church,” she said.
Recently, many churches and Christians have been targeted across India. In Uttarakhand’s Uttarakashi a Christmas event was attacked by right-wing workers claiming that forced conversions were taking place.
