Earlier on Sunday, an under-construction church was demolished in a village in Hisar.

Miscreants responsible for the attack even hoisted a flag with "Shri Ram" written on it at the demolition site in Kaimri village.

Reports said villagers were angry over alleged efforts by a priest to convert some locals to Christianity.

The reports further said that police have registered a case against 14 people named by the priest and started investigation into the matter. So far, no arrests have been made.
