When the videos of these Deities became viral on social media, the workers of pro-Hindu organisations began to gather near the Temple. They all demanded the arrest of the accused. On hearing of this incident, the Police came to the place and appealed to the people to be calm.

The accused did this deed in an intoxicated condition – says Police Superintendent

Meerut’s Police Superintendent Piyush Singh told the Pro-Hindu people that the culprit has been arrested and that he did this deed in an inebriated state. (‘How come only the Temples of the Hindus get vandalised when in an intoxicated state ? Why don’t the Police explain this ? What is wrong if people feel that the Police by saying this, are reducing the seriousness of the incident ? – Editor)Singh further said that a case has been registered against him and an investigation has begun. He also assured that new Idols of the Deities will be installed in the Temple.

Editorial viewpoints

Is there ever an Incident of vandalisation of a mosque or a church ? As the Hindus are not united anyone can come and attack places of their faith ! This is shameful for the Hindus !
How do such incidents happen when there is a BJP Government in Uttar Pradesh ? The Government should take harsh action against the culprits.
