The man also raised slogans of 'Jai Sri Ram and Sanatan Dharam ki Jai'.

The people protesting alleged that such programmes are being held to convert Hindus.

"It was scary as we had women and children around in the church. The nuisance is increasing with each passing day. It's an infringement of our right to pray and religion," a local pastor told news agency PTI.

The incident comes at a time when offering namaz in certain open spaces in Gurugram has kicked up a controversy.

Pataudi station house officer Amit Kumar said the police did not receive any complaint so far.
