Police say the accused hired three goons to vandalise the church
After the attack: A file photo of the Humnabad church in Bidar
district which was attacked by miscreants on November 17.
BIDAR: The Bidar district police Thursday claimed to have solved the
case of an attack on a church in Humnabad town in Bidar district on
November 17 with the arrest of a former pastor of the church and three
hired goons who allegedly attacked the church.
Superintendent of Police Satish Kumar in a press statement said here
that the main accused, Vasant, who was the pastor of the Humnabad
church till June this year before his transfer to a church at
Basantpur in Chincholi taluk in Gulbarga district had conspired to
damage the church with the hope that the church authorities would
cancel his transfer and keep him in Humnabad.
Mr. Kumar said the investigation revealed that the accused had taken
the help of B. Sunil, S. Mallikarjun Swamy and S. Manjunath, all
belonging to Humnabad town, to damage the church with a promise of
paying them Rs. 10,000. According to Mr. Kumar, the main accused had
already paid Rs. 1,000 as advance to the trio for carrying out the
attack.
The attack, which had embarrassed the district administration and the
police, had caused quite a stir among the Christians who wanted the
Government to take immediate action against those responsible for the
attack. Furniture, electrical fittings in the main prayer hall and the
cross on the dome of the church were damaged. The Opposition parties
such as the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) had also joined the
Christians in demanding action against those responsible for the
attack.
Mr. Kumar said that a special team of police officers, headed by
Additional Superintendent of Police Thyagarajan and Circle Inspectors
M.H. Satish, working in Humnabad police station and James Menenzis
working in Raichur, was formed to solve the case. The team questioned
several persons and finally the pastor. The accused revealed the names
of the three people he had hired to attack the church.
