At this time, the Tulsi vrundavan and the ‘malakhamb’ situated in front of the Kalpurush temple and the ‘Linga’, idols of ‘Bramhadevata’ and the ‘Naag’ situated at the left side of the Kalpurush temple, in the vicinity of the ‘Saat Devasthan’ was also desecrated. Also, the ‘lingas’ situated in 8 small domes behind the Kalpurush temples, as also the ‘linga’ situated on the right side of the temple was desecrated.
A temple of Sree Vetal is situated behind the Kalpurush temple. The crown of Sree Vetal was desecrated and its broken parts were thrown before the name plate of the temple. Likewise, Sree Vetal’s idol has also been desecrated by striking on both the eyes, ears, nose, and face with weapons and the deity’s left arm has been broken. The ‘lingas’, lamps and bells of four domes situated in front of the temple were damaged. (Congress government is incapable of protecting Hindu temples in Goa. Such massive desecration of idols of deities on a single day cannot be attempted by a lone person or a lunatic! Hence, the police should have no trouble in starting a detailed investigation against idol desecrators at least now! – Editor)
A dog squad was roped in by the Crime Branch to investigate into the matter. Finger prints on the idols have been taken for investigation.
