COIMBATORE : Another church in Tamil Nadu came under a spell of stone pelting by miscreants — this time, in communally sensitive Coimbatore. The glass door of Scion Assembly of Church in Kuppanur near Perur in rural Coimbatore was damaged on Tuesday evening.
This is the sixth incident of stone pelting on churches in Tamil Nadu in the aftermath of attacks on Christians and churches in Orissa and Karnataka. Last week, the statue of infant Jesus kept at a church in Dharapuram in Erode was damaged barely a couple of days after the statues of Mary were desecrated in Nagercoil and Madurai.
According to the Perur DSP, Kumarasamy, a local ‘‘rowdy, Mayilsamy, was taken into custody.
