Bandits kill Christian radio worker

Bandits are accused of killing a Christian radio worker in Jharkhand State, India.

Mr. Ajay Kumar Topno was a church planter visiting listeners in a largely hostile area where people largely do not read but get a lot of information through the radio ministry.

According to reports from Compass Direct and the All-India Christian Council, local police gave assurances that the culprits would be arrested soon.

An AICC statement quoted the regional edition of Hindi language national daily Dainik Jagran as saying that some villagers chased three convert families out of the village on September 11. The report further stated that it was suggested to the villagers that they should target Christian workers rather than chase out the converts.
