New details on how Hindu extremists beat Christian leader, run him over with motorcycles.

There are new details on the attack of Hindu radicals on pastor Isaac Paulose we briefly wrote about yesterday. An eye-witness also shares his experiences on the brutal onslaught.

Armed with bamboo rods and a thick metal chain with a heavy lock on it, the 10 Hindu nationalists in Sehore, Madhya Pradesh state beat Isaac Paulose, 48, and then ran their five motorcycles over him, fracturing one of his ribs, said Uttar Kumar Deep, pastor of Grace Fellowship Church of CEA (Christian Evangelistic Assemblies), Sehore.

Paulose, an elder at the church and Madhya Pradesh coordinator of the New India Evangelistic Association, was attacked shortly after dropping his 5-year-old son off at school that morning, Pastor Deep said.

“When he lay on the ground half-dead, they drove their bikes, five in number, one after another over him, injuring him further and breaking his rib,” Pastor Deep explained. “They scorned and taunted him, asking him to call on the name of Jesus.
