Police said that they questioned a few people living near the church.

In the last two months, this is the fifth incident of a church being attacked in the national capital.

    These are concerted attacks in recent months by various hate groups, trying to make problems to minority, which is a peaceful community, always working for the good of the nation, through education, brotherhood and tending the sick and poor.
    These kind of attacks, only goes to show the level of thinking of these groups. They need guidance from their parent groups (then when one thinks, the parent groups themselves may be needing guidance as a few them may be supporting these smaller one in these kind of activities.) not to attack the community which only wants cordial relationship with all their neighbours in the Country.
    Whoever is the Government, should take immediate necessary steps to stop these kind of attacks on religious places.
    I hope God gives His grace to everyone to think sanely and live neighbourly.
