Shamsher alias Monu Khan was arrested for vandalizing the Shivling and murtis of other Hindu Bhagwans in an ancient Shiv-Hanuman Mandir. The Mandir is located in Bilwari Mohalla of Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh. The incident occurred late at night on December 18.
An OpIndia report on the incident notes:
According to reports, the accused was spotted roaming around the temple premises with a stone in his hand. He vandalised the Shivling installed inside the temple premises, along with idols of other Hindu deities. Shamsher Khan reportedly verbally abused the local devotees around the temple before vandalising the Shivling. The accused was detained by police and confessed to his crime.
Tension has increased in the neighbourhood following the incident. Members of various Hindu outfits have taken to the streets demanding strict punishment for the accused, who they said has offended the Hindus by vandalising the centuries-old Shivling that their ancestors and forebears had long worshipped. To control the situation, a large police contingent has been mobilised.
According to reports, some devotees were heading their way home from a religious place at the time of the incident. They were passing through the temple when they saw Shamsher vandalising the Shivling. The locals tried to catch him but Shamsher managed to flee. People who saw Shamsher feeling informed other people in the neighbourhood about the incident. As the news spread, many irate villagers along with members of various Hindu organisations started congregating near the temple premises. Fearing an escalation, the Damoh police sent in their forces.
The police team tried to pacify the angry crowd that demanded the immediate arrest of the miscreant.
In the meantime, another police team, that had been conducting raids in the nearby localities, arrested Shamsher Khan and brought him to the police station. Giving further details, Superintendent of Police Shivkumar said that Samsher Khan alias Monu will be produced in the court after questioning. He confirmed that the accused had conspired to spread communal tension in the area even before this incident.
This news comes close on the heels of reports of a man being arrested for flashing his private part inside Vishweshwar Mahadev Mandir located in Indore’s Prakash Nagar.
“Islamist brazenness is touching new heights with each passing day. In a disgusting incident which would make any self-aware community hang its head in shame, a man named Wasim was caught on CCTV camera while masturbating to a Hindu girl visiting the Vishweshwar Mahadev temple in Prakash Nagar area of Indore city, Madhya Pradesh”, HinduPost had highlighted earlier.
