The church in Dhanbad city, Jharkhand, was still under construction when the mob attacked on June 22 and destroyed the cross. The church has a congregation of 16 families mainly from Belagadia.
Two teachers, Kaina Pansal and Sushant Predhan, teach in the premises but they were accused of having converting some local families.
Police arrested and interrogated the two teachers on charges of forced conversion.
Their arrests sparked outrage and anti-Christian militants destroyed and vandalised the church.
In Jharkhand, religious proselytism – the attempt to convert someone – is banned by law.
Anyone found guilty can be sentenced up to three years in prison and up to 50 thousand rupees (£537.26).
In the East Indian state, anyone wanting to convert to another religion must seek authorisation from the district authority.
President of the Global Council of Indian Christians, Sajan K George, argued the charges against Pansal and Predhan are false.
He said: “These anti-conversion laws are tools for intimidating, mistreating and frightening the tiny Christian community.
