E/CN.4/1995/91 page 43 of the Babri Mosque in Ayodhya on 6 December 1992 (E/CN.4/1994/79, para. 55). Concerning the serious inter-community disturbances, in Bombay in particular, in January 1993, which were reported in the communication of 10 November 1993 addressed to the Indian Government, the Special Rapporteur received additional information indicating that at least 550 people were killed and 2,500 injured. Certain persons are reported to have been stoned to death and/or burned alive. According to a report by the ’Indian People’s Human Rights Tribunal’ published in August 1993, these events were part of an organized crime perpetrated by communalists in cooperation with the police. The report states that the police either stood by and watched or supported the Hindu attackers. According to numerous reports, most of the victims were Muslims. Furthermore, on 12 March 1993 numerous bomb attacks were reported in Bombay, in particular against tourist hotels and markets, killing at least 250 people. Police investigations are said to have found one Muslim family to be responsible, but the reason for the attack is not clear. In Maharashtra, the police reportedly conducted large-scale indiscriminate raids among all Muslims who might have been involved in the Bombay attack. Cases of serious violations in Kashmir and Jammu and the Punjab have also been referred to the Special Rapporteur. In Kashmir and Jammu, Muslim extremists are said to be continuing their persecution of the Hindu minority. They are said to have attacked Hindu pilgrims near Anantnag on 3 August 1993, killing one person and injuring 23 others. On 14 August, the extremists allegedly stopped a bus and killed 16 Hindu civilians. They are also said to have killed a Hindu leader. On 15 September, they planted a bomb in a Hindu temple, killing one person and injuring eight others. According to the information received, most of the Muslims in Kashmir are caught between the violent actions of the Muslim extremists and those of the security forces taken against any insurrection and even against civilians. In the Punjab, a Sikh religious leader, Gurev Singh Kaonke, is said to be missing since 2 January 1993. Regarding the Christians, there is said to be no national legislation prohibiting proselytism by Indian Christians. However, the laws of some States discourage Christians from practising openly. Resident foreign missionaries are generally able to renew their visas, but since the mid-1960s, entry for new resident missionaries is denied. A certain increase in conversions among the tribes continues to create tensions, and foreign Christian missionaries are said to be denied entry permits for the States in the north-east." In response to the above-mentioned allegation, the Permanent Mission of India transmitted the following information to the Special Rapporteur on 17 November 1994:
