Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh) – Aligarh police arrests two Muslim youths, Sohail and Irfan, for urinating in temple premises on June 26. Following the complaints from devout Hindu groups, demands arise for bulldozing accused’s homes.

In his formal complaint, Hindu activist Prashant Kumar detailed an incident on June 26 where Sohail and Irfan purportedly entered the premises of an ancient Deity Shiva temple in Akrabad and urinated. Kumar highlighted the temple’s cultural importance, drawing visitors from distant locations.

Hindu organizations have alleged that Sohail and Irfan deliberately did this to hurt the sentiments of Hindus. Both houses are said to be behind the temple.
