Ludhiana, October 29

Residents in large numbers today protested outside the Salem Tabri police station, accusing the police of inaction in a theft case reported from St. Mary’s Church at Aman Nagar a few days ago.

The protesters alleged they had been doing the rounds of the police officials’ offices who just made hollow promises. “The church was broken into and desecrated as well. The thieves ransacked 10 rooms attached to the church and its office. They broke the sacred vessels as well as offertory boxes. This is not an isolated case as a similar burglary was also reported at the church in Noorpur village. We suspect the same persons who murdered Pastor Sultan Masih are behind the burglary at the church,” the protesters said.

They said the community felt insecure in the country, especially in Ludhiana. Even the credibility of investigations has not been proved in the past cases of burglaries at churches, they alleged.

The protest was ended after the police assured the agitators of arrests in the case.
