Victims recall horrors of attack

August 15, 2010, will be etched in the memory of Pastor S R Satish’s memory. On that day, as the entire nation celebrated Independence Day, he was attacked at his church by about 40 people.Worse, he had to spend the next three days in Mandya’s K R Pet jail, not knowing the reason for his imprisonment.

Satish said “It was a Sunday and we were conducting prayers at K R Pet when these people attacked me asking me to stop the prayers.”
“A man named Vinod, claiming to be a Bajrang Dal activist, came with about 40 men and warned me,” says Satish. “They threatened to kill me.”
