09/16/2025 India (International Christian Concern) – After worship ended on Sunday, Aug. 10, in a remote Chhattisgarh village, most of the church members returned home. The few who stayed behind, however, suddenly found themselves trapped. Around 11:30 a.m., a mob of about 60 Hindu nationalists broke into the house where the service had occurred and beat the remaining believers with sticks and clubs. “People forced their way inside and began beating us,” said 25-year-old Sandit, who owns the house where worship occurs every Sunday. “They later dragged us outside and tortured us further.”
