Police in India say they have charged a man in connection with a bomb blast at a Jehovah’s Witnesses prayer meeting that killed three people. Dozens were also injured in Sunday’s explosion at a convention centre where more than 2,000 people had gathered for a three-day meeting. He returned to India about two months ago from Dubai, the website The News Minute reported. There are nearly 60,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses in India, according to the church’s website. Jehovah’s Witnesses are members of a US-based Christian evangelical movement and are perhaps best known for knocking on doors around the world, Bible in hand, trying to convert people to their beliefs.
