Four faithful of the Pentecostal Church of Amritsar in Punjab (India) were attacked on the 23rd of October. A Christian was killed, and three others were seriously injured, when they were leaving the church. The police have already arrested three people connected to the attack and are still searching for four other individuals who managed to escape.

According to Jaspal Masih, the son of the pastor of the church, “Three armed men entered the church, and opened fire on us. I lay down on the ground to save my life”.

In India, Christians represent only 2.4% of society, and they are usually targets of these kinds of attacks.
