Shivpuri Temple Idols Vandalised, Thrown Into Well
A group of unknown people went to a temple in Shivpuri, India, and broke some of the statues.
They tried to take the statue of Lord Shiva but couldn't, so they broke the statue of Goddess Parvati and took the statues of Nandi and Lord Ganesha.
They threw these statues into a nearby well.
Police found the statues in the well and brought them back.
The police made a formal complaint and are looking for the people who did this.
Some local religious groups are upset and want the police to arrest the culprits quickly.
Idols at Neelkanth Mahadev Temple were vandalised and thrown into a well.
Suspects failed to uproot the Lord Shiva idol but damaged the Goddess Parvati idol and removed Nandi Maharaj and Lord Ganesha idols.
Police recovered the idols from the well and registered an FIR against unidentified persons.
Members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal demanded strict action and immediate arrests.
Investigation and search for suspects are underway.
