The village made international headlines on 5 January 2020 when Pastor Jai Singh was dragged from his home by a large mob of Hindu extremists, thirty of whom took turns to beat him before handing him over to police. Pastor Singh was accused of paying Hindus to convert to Christianity and arrested. He remained in custody for three days and so far no action has been taken against his attackers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://morningstarnews.org/2020/01/severe-attack-in-northern-india-devastates-families-church/|title = Severe Attack in Northern India Devastates Families, Church|date = 24 January 2020}}</ref>
