Church demolished in Chhattisgarh over encroachment accusations

A building that was formerly a church was demolished in Chhattisgarh’s Raigarh district. The demolition took place after a public threat by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Anshu Tuneja on December 29 where he accused the religious



structure was illegally constructed on an encroached land.

The demolition took place on January 8 but came to light on Monday, January 12. The building was completely destroyed by a bulldozer, leaving only rubble.
