NEW DELHI, INDIA (Worthy News)– A 35-year-old church pastor was
murdered in India's southeastern Andhra Pradesh state by suspected Maoist
rebels who slit his throat, police and Indian rights activists confirmed
Thursday, April 12.
The Catholic-Christian Secular Forum (CSF), an Indian
non-governmental group, said S Dumbu , also
known locally as Bingo, was killed last week April 3 in Jerrela village after
masked men knocked at the door of his home.
"They told him that Maoists were waiting for him to
discuss an issue. A hesitant Dumbu left with the masked men, while [his wife]
Janaki stayed back home," CSF cited a report as saying.
"A few minutes later, the masked man came back to
Dumbu’s house and informed Janaki that the Maoists killed the pastor reportedly
for his irregularities in the maintenance of church."
The man allegedly also tried to abuse the pastor's wife and
fled with money.
