    Most of the cases the same community or well known people are responsible for such incidents. People should not make a Social issue to a Religious and then it will become Political.

    I have been to this Sacred Heart Church in Shambhoor with my family some years back and offered my prayers and received blessings from the then priest. No doubt, this is the handiwork of some people those who know the movements and absence of priest and made their good to ransack the church office. Moreover, this church is in a remote place where such activities will not come to know that easily.

    Hope that police will swing in action and culprit will be nabbed as early as possible.
