On July 27, two men confronted Pastor Dhiraj and his wife, Ravita, at their church in Fatehpur. The men demanded Pastor Dhiraj and his wife leave the area or they would kill him and demolish his church. These men returned the next day, July 28, and again threatened Pastor Dhiraj.

On July 29, the men returned when Pastor Dhiraj was not home and confronted his wife. They asked for Pastor Dhiraj’s whereabouts and then left.

At 7 p.m., a mob of nearly 25 to 30 people returned and attempted to break into the pastor’s home. Members of the mob climbed on top of the church and parsonage building threatening Ravita with sticks and guns. Ravita called for help and the mob was driven away by nearby villagers…. no action has been taken against the mob or the individuals who threatened and harassed Pastor Dhiraj and his family…
