New Delhi: At least 40 activists of hardliner Hindu group Bajrang Dal went on a rampage at the Loretto Convent School in Lucknow on Sunday accusing the school of influencing children in the name of Christianity.
The incident took place after a controversy over a special occult session organised by the school where some students fainted when a man reportedly appeared in front of them saying he was Jesus Christ.
According to agency reports, an eyewitness said the man appeared on stage, first meditating and then writhing and shuddering on the ground as if in pain.
"After a few agonizing moments he was up on his feet declaring Jesus was inside him and that he could bless anyone who sought his divine exaltation," the school girl said on the condition of anonymity.
At least three Bajrang Dal activists were arrested on charges of vandalism and ransacking the school property. They broke windows of the school's chapel and damaged flower pots and doors.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have said they will take to the streets on Monday to protest against the arrests.
All Catholic schools in Lucknow will remain shut on Monday in protest.
