Kushtia (Bangladesh) – A Bangladeshi Daily Dhaka Tribune has reported that an Idol of Goddess Durga was smashed in the city of Kushtia. Advocate Anup Kumar Nandi, Chairman of the Zila Pooja Utsav Samiti, said “On the morning of 6th October, when we found the Idol in a broken condition, we immediately informed the Police.” Police visited the scene. The Officer-in-charge of the Kushtia Model Police Station, Sabbirul Islam, said, “We are investigating the matter.”

The incident took place in a temporary Pendal of Aika Jubasangh in the Arupara area. The artisans had left the Idols to dry after coating them with clay on the night of 20th September.

Vandalism of temples and desecration of Idols is a common occurrence in Islamic Bangladesh. Every year, these attacks peak just before Durga Puja, the biggest festival for Bengali Hindus from all over the world.
