Dimapur, June 3: Pastor of Dimapur Rongmei Baptist Church, K Sachu Colony, Meingandai Gangmei, was physically assaulted by around six miscreants in the wee hour on June 3 near Faith Hospital while he was returning home from Dimapur Railway Station after dropping one relative.
It was reported that the miscreants forcibly stopped the autorickshaw he was travelling and dragged him out of the autorickshaw and directed the driver to drop them to a certain place. As he began to call known neighbours to pick him, the miscreants rushed back and beat him black and blue. His mobile phone Nokia X2 with two sim cards bearing 841304082 and 9402612359 was snatched from him.
The church secretary stated that the pastor was assaulted despite disclosing his identity. It said such act deserved condemnation by all civilized citizens.
Meanwhile, the church has urged the miscreants to mend their ways and seek forgiveness from Jesus- the true forgiver and also to return the mobile phone.
