Man held for desecration of idol at temple in Telangana

Local people gathered and held a protest demanding action against the man responsible for the incident. He was later arrested. A case was registered and further investigation is on, the official said.

Navagraha idols in a temple at Shamshabad were found damaged on November 5, leading to the detention of a person, police earlier said.

Also, an idol was desecrated at the Muthyalamma temple in Secunderabad on the night of October 13-14, sparking protests from local residents and Hindu organisations. A 30-year-old man from Maharashtra, allegedly involved in similar acts in Mumbai, was arrested in connection with this incident.
