A mob of Bajrang Dal activists attacked a missionary school in Madhya Pradesh's Vidisha on Monday alleging religious conversion.

The right-wing goons pelted stones and vandalised the school property claiming that eight students were converted to Christianity by the school authorities.

The Saint Joseph School administration has refuted the charge.

The violence took place while the students of Class 12 were sitting for a mathematics exam.
