Hindu nationalists humiliate and tie up Christian women in India

40-year-old Subhasini Singh was heading to a Christian meeting with five other families, when Hindu nationalists interrupted and questioned them about their faith.
According to Pastor Sadhu Sundar Singh: “The men brutally assaulted Gobinda, his wife and teenage daughter.”
Then the mob attacked Subhasini Singh, smeared a Christmas cake all over her face and then started beating her. Gobinda Singh’s sister, Sukanti Singh and her husband were also attacked and beaten with shoes, sandals, slaps and fists. The intruders also kicked them, causing severe injuries. Then they stripped Subhasini naked.
She recalls the terrible details of her assault: “They kicked me between my legs at least three times, and landed several blows on my chest, legs, face, knees and my head. I pleaded to the women to allow me to wear my blouse and saree before they drag me outside the house and make a public show of me. I was in pain from head to toe. My private parts were also paining. I couldn’t say then if I went through something horrifying while I was unconscious.”
The angry mob then tied Sukanti and Subhasini to a tree. They kept beating and humiliating them and hung a picture of Christ on the tree above their heads.
Subhasini continued depicting the horrible events: “They forced Sukanti and her husband to hit me, and they both did.”
She lost consciousness three times during the assault. Eventually someone from the crowd called the police.
According to Bishop Pallab Lima, general secretary of the minority cell of Biju Janata Dal: “If police had not intervened timely, the men would have burned Subhasini alive.”
Chitta Nayak, assistant sub-inspector of the Nilgiri police station attended the scene. He stated: “I was asked to rush there. I saw two women tied to a tree and brought them with me to our police station, but later we realized that the area where the incident took place fell under the jurisdiction of the Remuna police station. We handed them over to the Remuna police.”
A Hindu extremist complained about the process, therefore the police took the three Christians into custody. The two women were sent to a doctor to be checked out for injuries. Only when footage of the attack went viral on social media did the police arrest the Hindu extremists.
