Title: Christian Family Attacked by Hindu Militants in Madhya Pradesh, India Post by: nChrist on April 10, 2008, 08:08:12 PM Christian Family Attacked by Hindu Militants in Madhya Pradesh, India
by Staff April 10, 2008 (christiansunite.com) - Hindu militants attacked and severely injured the grandparents and aunt of a 15-year-old girl in the village of Bahera, Madhya Pradesh when the Christian family stopped the mob from raping her, according to a March 27 report from Compass Direct. On March 22, nine Hindu militants demanded that the father of the girl, Brij Gopal Saket, turn over his daughter, Urmila, so that they could abuse her. Saket refused to hand her over and locked himself, his wife and daughter inside their home. The militants, who had reportedly threatened other local Christians with violence for worshipping Christ, then grabbed Saket's parents and his sister who were outside the house and beat them with rods, sticks and stones. Pray for the healing for Urmila and her injured family members. Pray that, in their sufferings, they will find strength in Christ (2 Cor. 1:3-5).
