Elder Arrested After Hindu Mob Disruption
|
During
a worship service on Sept. 9, 2023, members of Hindu radical groups and
Hindu media outlets aggressively disrupted the service and blamed elder
Omkar Lohoni for promoting Christianity in the area. Police arrested
Omkar and held him in custody for six hours. Brother Omkar leads three
fellowships with about 250 believers, and he thinks Hindu radicals
targeted him because he is a well-recognized person among the Christians
in this area. Front-line workers report that Hindu radicals are
strategically undermining Christianity in the province where Omkar
works, closely observing pastors’ activities and their connections so
they can bring additional charges against Christians. Their intimidation
campaigns often include posting photos identifying Christians and
making claims about them on social media to encourage the Hindu
community to oppose Christianity.
