AT
LEAST six people were injured when unidentified men attacked a group of
Christians at Kutal village in Wada, Thane (Rural) on Sunday morning.
The incident, the fourth such attack in a month, comes a day after a
Christian delegation led by Abraham Mathai, vice-chairman of State
Minorities Commission, met Deputy Chief Minister R.R. Patil to complain
about the attacks. Patil ordered an inquiry into the incidents, he
added. A police official told HT, on condition of anonymity, that the
victims were on their way to a place of worship at the time of the
incident. Sunday's attack comes two days after a pastor was allegedly
assaulted in Vikramgad. He said the police were '"hand in glove
with the attackers and protecting them". Mathai blamed a Hindu
group active in the area for the attacks. Police Commissioner Naval
Bajaj of Thane (rural) said he had been informed about the attacks.
"We are gathering further details and if we get reports of any
discrimination by the police or that the police have faulted in their
probe, we will take action," he said.
