Over 50 tribals assaulted at prayer meet-Sandhya Nair

-The Times of India

MUMBAI: A prayer meeting held at the house of a tribal Christian, Madhukar Salve, in Thavalpada village of Mokhada taluka was allegedly disrupted by a mob on Sunday. 

Around 11am, over 50 Christian tribals from Thavalpada and neighbouring villages were singing devotional songs at Salve's house when the mob assaulted them. Salve has been holding prayer session every Sunday for the past two years. No arrests have been made yet. 

Additional superintendent of police, Thane Rural, Sangramsinh Nishandar confirmed the incident. Indian Christian Voice president Abraham Mathai said cases of assault on tribal Christians had become frequent. He demanded police protection for the tribals during prayer meetings.
