A viral video from December 22, 2025, captured in Ghaziabad shows
Pastor Raju Sadasivam and his wife being publicly harassed by a self-proclaimed
Hindutva activist who verbally abused Christianity, accused them of
forced conversions, and intimidated them while filming. The couple were briefly questioned by police but released, with no reported action against the harasser, prompting criticism from rights groups. This incident is documented as part of a broader rise in anti-Christian harassment across India during the 2025 Christmas season. Monitoring groups report more than
700 anti-Christian occurrences in 2025, including disruptions of prayer meetings, vandalism, and attacks on carol singers in multiple states. Church bodies and human rights organizations warn that misuse of anti-conversion laws and mob vigilantism are undermining religious freedom, adding to concerns about the safety of minorities and visitors in India.

Correction note: While the video shows the alleged harassment and police response as reported, rights groups have called for independent verification and accountability.
