Bombay protest against Catholic priest attack
More than 150 schools and colleges in Bombay have closed in protest against an attack on a priest a week ago.

The move came after the Archbishop of Bombay, Ivan Dias, described the attack as senseless, barbaric and premeditated.

The Catholic Church has accused members of the right-wing Bajrang Dal organisation of assaulting the priest.
