BHUBNESHWAR, India - Police in India's Orissa state say a Hindu mob has attacked a Christian minister, sparking violence that left one person dead and 12 injured.
A local officer says the minister's son retaliated by firing on the crowd, and police then opened fire to disperse the mob, killing a Hindu woman. He adds that the death toll could rise.
According to the state government, 28 people have died in more than a month of religious violence, but the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India has said at least 40 Christians have been killed in mob attacks on churches, shops and homes.
