Christian missionaries who were distributing the Bible in #Bengaluru were assaulted by a mob, & the incident was caught on camera.
According to members of the small group, the incident occurred on Dec 23, as they were distributing #Bibles & #Chocolates in the #Malleswaram area.
In the video, members in the crowd can be heard asking for the keys to the car. One woman is heard saying, "Nim ajji, If you have a #Bible keep it to yourself. Do we come and give you the #BhagavatGita to read?"

Another man is heard saying, "How dare you distribute the #Bible in our area? Should we all join you?” He goes on to say that if it had been anyone else, they would have been assaulted for distributing the Bible.

The group is then seen throwing the Bibles from the car into the streets and destroying them.
According to #Rebecca, one of the members of the group, the confrontation began when a woman approached them and asked why they were distributing #Bibles.
The woman then verbally abused them and vandalised a #Bible, gathering a crowd to support her actions.
“As part of #Christmas celebrations, we were distributing #Bibles & #Chocolates to people. We didn’t force anyone to accept the Bibles,” #Rebecca said.
