BHOPAL: Members of the Dharma Sena, a Vishwa
Hindu Parishad-backed outfit, attacked many
Christians, including girls and women, who were
participating in a Palm Sunday function in Jabalpur's
Cantonment area. Case filed
The police have registered a case of rioting
and damage to property under Sections 147, 148,
323, 427 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code against
the Dharma Sena activists.
The Dharma Sena is a band of about two-dozen
local activists drawing strength from the VHP.
It spearheads an anti-conversion campaign in
Jabalpur.
In Sunday's incident near the Hanuman Mandir
on a hillock at Patababa, the Dharma Sena activists
were outnumbered and two of them were also injured.
While those from the Christian community claimed
that they had been going to the Patababa hill
for the past
several years, the Dharma Sena activists said
they were there for preparations in connection
with Monday's Hanuman Jayanthi.
When contacted, Collector Sanjay Dubey said
police investigations were under way.
