HYDERABAD: Trouble erupted outside a temple of a local deity in Muthyalamma area in Secunderabad early on Monday morning after a man from the minority community barged into the temple premises and damaged the idol. Locals caught hold of the man and assaulted him before handing him over to the police. He is undergoing treatment at a city hospital where his condition is said to be critical.
According to the police, the incident took place around 4.30am. A resident of the area, who was out for his morning walk, noticed suspicious activity at the temple. On finding the man vandalising the temple, he raised an alarm and alerted locals. Videos of the act, captured by the temple’s CCTV cameras, have now gone viral.
“Following the alarm, a crowd gathered at the temple. They dragged the man out onto the road and beat him up,” a police official said. “A case has been registered and a probe is underway. Once the man gains consciousness, we will seek details about him. We need to find out if there were others involved in the incident, and what could be their motive,” DCP, Hyderabad City, S Rashmi Perumal, said.
