Dhaka: An idol in a Hindu temple in the Brahmanbaria area of Bangladesh was vandalized by a 36-year-old man. The local Hindu community was outraged by the incident. The Niamat Pur Durga temple in Niamatpur village is where the incident took place. The accused has been identified as Khalil Mia.
As the news of the vandalism spread, the locals quickly took matters into their own hands and assisted the police in chasing and catching the accused. Khalil Mia was arrested, but Brahmanbaria Police Superintendent Mohammad Shakhawat Hossain said the reason for it is yet unknown. Why he turned to such a heinous deed is still a mystery.
