Several injured in attacks on Christians in Chhattisgarh

The Hindu  

Several persons, including a police officer, were injured in an alleged attack on Christian families in the Gorra village of Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur on Sunday. The latest incident comes two weeks after Christian families were allegedly assaulted and driven away following coordinated attacks in over a dozen villages in the district. Some of the injured persons told journalists that the attack was carried out by a mob of nearly 400 to 500 — that comprised people from the Gorra village and outsiders — on nearly a dozen Christians. A senior police officer, however, described it as a clash between two groups and said that eight persons were injured in the clashes.
