In the assault Pastor Mandal suffered serious injury to his eye, which bled profusely, he said. вЂњThere we were attacked by about 15 members of the Bajrang Dal.вЂќ вЂњRavi Murmu, myself and a team of 10 Christians were visiting the Newada area of Bihar, about 160 kilometers from Jamalpur, for the purpose of preaching the gospel,вЂќ he said. вЂњBut we never imagined such a thing would happen to Ravi.вЂќДЄbout a year and half ago, however, Murmu was attacked along with others in another part of the state, Pastor Mandal said. вЂњIt is 32 years that my husband is ministering in Jamalpur, and he has faced threats day in and day out,вЂќ she told Compass.

To me the motive seems to be anti-Christian.вЂќ That is why Ravi was targeted when he was alone. вЂњAll his belongings were intact, which included his motorbike, Bible, cell phone, wristwatch and some cash,вЂќ MurmuвЂ™s brother-in-law, Shiv Kumar, told Compass. Police are investigating but have made no arrests so far. вЂњEfforts were made to chop off his hand and neck, trying to separate it from his body,вЂќ Shekhar Kumar, a member of his church, told Compass.
