Vrthrasura was Chithrakethu in his previous birth and became a great devotee of 
Vishnu H ewas cursed by Parvati to beborn a asura because he made fun of Siva 
who had Parvati on his lap. When Tvashta did a yaga to create a son who will 
kill Indra because Indra had killed his son Visvarupa, which was another story, 
Vrthra came out of the sacrificial fire and because he was of brahmin origin, 
being created by Tvashta a brahmin Brahmahaththi dhosha  came to Indra and not 
because he was a devotee of Vishnu. In fact Vishnu Himself advised Indra to get 
the backbone of Dhadheechi to make vajrayudha o kill Vrthra, not because  He 
was unkind to His devotee but only in orer to release His devotee from his 
curse of being in a demonical body. This is described in 6th skandha of 
Bhagavata.

I think, vrtrAsura was a great devotee of the Lord, worshipping Him 
as sankarshaNa, according to Srimad Bhagavatam. So indra had to leave 
svarga as he killed His devotee. Please correct me if I am wrong. I 
dont have yAdavAbhyudayam and bhAgavatam with me.
