On December 22, 2025, a viral video from 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 and released, with no reported action against the harasser.

Rights groups criticized the handling of the incident, calling it emblematic of a broader surge in anti-Christian harassment 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 across multiple states.

Church bodies and human rights organizations warn that the misuse of anti-conversion laws and mob vigilantism are undermining religious freedom, adding to broader concerns about the safety of minorities and visitors in India.
