Pastor assaulted

DIMAPUR, JUNE 3 (MExN): Pastor of the Dimapur Rongmei Baptist Church, K Sachu Colony, Meingandai Gangmei was assaulted by unidentified miscreants in the wee hours of June 3 at around 12:30am. A press note from the Dimapur Rongmei Baptist Church (DRBC) informed that the incident occurred near Faith Hospital, when the pastor was returning in an auto rickshaw from the Dimapur Railway Station after dropping off a relative. The DRBC informed that the miscreants forcibly stopped the auto rickshaw and pulled the pastor out, while forcing the driver to drop them to a certain place. As the pastor started making a phone call after being forcibly pulled out of the auto rickshaw, the DRBC said that the miscreants assaulted him and snatched his phone. Condemning the incident, the DRBC asked “the culprits to repent, mend their ways and seek forgiveness.” It further appealed for the return of the pastor’s cell phone as it contains “important data related to the Church ministry.”
