A Catholic bishop was hospitalized after a group of parishioners attacked him, a security guard and a priest in a five-decade-old land dispute in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Bishop Jerome Dhas Varuvel of Kuzhithurai left the hospital March 12, two days after he was attacked by a crowd of about 130 Catholic men and women, reported ucanews.com.
The guard remains in the hospital after suffering serious injuries in his attempt to protect the bishop, Father Russel Raj, diocesan chancellor, told ucanews.com.
