Four Hindus arrested for vandalising temples to incite communal violence in UP

New Delhi, June 10, 2023 (PPI-OT):The police in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh apprehended four individuals for their involvement in the act of vandalizing idols in four temples located in Baral village of Bulandshahr district purportedly to disrupt communal harmony in the state. This incident occurred last week when four Hindu temples in the city of Bulandshahr were targeted and vandalized. The local Hindu organizations were outraged by the incident and staged protests, demanding strict action against the culprits responsible for attacking the temples.

The nefarious intention behind the vandalism was to blame the members of minority communities to unleash attack on them. As part of their destructive acts, the arrested miscreants identified as Harish Sharma (considered the main accused), Shivam, Keshav, and Ajay damaged a total of 12 idols representing various Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

As per the reports, the incident took place in Baral on the night of May 30. The local residents became aware of the vandalism when they discovered that four temples had been vandalized. They promptly informed the police about the incident. Responding swiftly, the police arrived at the scene and secured the temple premises by sealing them off.
