DHAKA: A church in Mumbai was attacked by masked men Saturday, local media reported, the latest in a series of attacks on churches in Hindu-majority India.

Closed-circuit camera footage captured three masked men hurling stones at a church early Saturday in the state capital of Mumbai, prompting city police to file an initial case against the ‘unknown people’.

‘The miscreants had thrown stones at the church entrance from the roadside and later fled from there. A case has been registered... for further investigation,’ senior Mumbai police official SB Suryavanshi told The Times of India, reports The Straits Times.

Suryavanshi told NDTV news channel that no arrests had been made so far.
