Five people were arrested in the attack on Catholic Church at Narayanpur in Chhattisgarh. Including a local BJP leader named Rupsai Salam, the police arrested another four who are residents of Bakhrupara.
Around 2,000 people, mostly tribals, held a public meeting in Narayanpur on Monday in protest against alleged religious conversions in the tribal-dominated area. Citing security reasons, the police on Tuesday also stopped two BJP MPs and an MLA from entering Narayanpur. There are around ten police officers appointed to safeguard the people.
