The miscreants poured kerosene on door of the church and tried to set it on fire but the blaze did not spread beyond the door. Local police are investigating the case as of now. That the attack took place at such an early hour in the day could be due to the miscreants trying to conceal their identity in the dark of the pre-dawn.
