From communal rage to romance, the Agra church attack incident of April 16 took a strange turn on Friday with the arrest of a Muslim youth who has reportedly admitted that he vandalized the place of worship because his love for a Christian girl went unrequited.
Top sources in the police told TOI that Haider Ali has "confessed" that he let loose his anger at the St Mary's Church because a Christian girl he loved, and who frequented the church, had failed to return his affection.
The girl, whose name TOI is withholding, had in the fortnight before the attack suddenly stopped coming to the church. In frustration, Ali said he hit out at the statutes of Infant Jesus and Mother Mary.
