Hisar church vandalized: Let law take its course, says Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar

Haryana Chief Minister ML Khattar on Monday said in light of the church being vandalized in the Hisar region of the state, the law should be allowed to take its course, adding that those found guilty would be punished for their crime.

"An FIR has been registered against nine people. Law will take its own course. Those who found guilty will be punished" said Khattar.

Earlier on Sunday, an under-construction church was demolished in a village in Hisar.

Miscreants responsible for the attack even hoisted a flag with "Shri Ram" written on it at the demolition site in Kaimri village.

Reports said villagers were angry over alleged efforts by a priest to convert some locals to Christianity.

The reports further said that police have registered a case against 14 people named by the priest and started investigation into the matter. So far, no arrests have been made.
