New Delhi, India - A Delhi-based missionary Saji Abraham was assaulted by three men at Banswara in Rajasthan on Christmas eve. Abraham was on his way to the Jaina Merchi church on December 24 past year. The youths met him on his way to the church and sought his permission to see the church. After entering the church they locked the main door of it and started hitting him with a blunt weapon and kicked in the abdomen. When he fell unconscious, they fled perhaps thinking that he was dead, said an aide of the victim.
