an incident of idol vandalism occurred at a public temple in Madaripur Sadar Upazila.
On April 6, 2023, at approximately 11 PM, unknown individuals illegally entered the temple and vandalized the idol of Lord Ganesha.
Advocate Rabindra Ghosh, President of Bangladesh Minority Watch (BDMW), stated that when he contacted the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Madaripur Sadar Police Station, Md. Monwar Hossain Chowdhury, by phone, he was informed that a general diary (GD) regarding the incident was filed by Binoy Krishna Mondal on April 7, 2023. When asked why a formal case was not filed, the OC said that no one from the temple was willing to do so. An investigation into the matter is ongoing.
Ghosh further said that when he called Binoy Krishna Mondal (01712889670) to inquire about the matter, Mondal claimed that puja committee members had instructed him not to file a case.
The BDMW president strongly condemned this repeated religious desecration, stating that such incidents tarnish the country's image. He demanded the immediate arrest of the culprits and called for appropriate legal punishment.
