Recently, a stone was hurled at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue in the Sasane Nagar area, causing tension in the locality. Locals assembled in large numbers and handed over a memorandum to the police demanding the arrest of the culprit. Subsequently, a 25-year-old mentally deranged person was arrested under Section 295 (injuring or defiling a place of worship) of the Indian Penal Code, based on CCTV footage of the incident.
Meanwhile, the Sakal Hindu Samaj has demanded that a law be passed imposing a 10-year punishment for individuals who attempt to tarnish the social fabric of our society.
