The mob vandalized the temple, murti, and looted money and other valuable things. At least 3 Hindu devotees were injured during this attack.
Last year, at least three people were killed after violence took place after news spread on social media that the Quran was allegedly desecrated at a Durga Puja pandal in Comilla town, Bangladesh.
