Subject: Mohammad Faisal Demolished Radha Krishna Murthi in presence of Hindu devotees at Savar-Dhaka:
Mohammad Faisal demolished Radha Krishna Murthi (Hindu Deity) at Savar –Dhaka in front of hundreds of Hindu devotees on December 2, 2009. One arrested.
From our correspondent from Savar:
There was continuous 12 hours religious songs ( Hare Krishna ) in the name of Sadhu Baba at Panchabati Ashram. Hundreds of Hindu devotees from different parts of the country attended the function on 2nd of December, 09 at Savar-Dhaka, Bangladesh.
All on a sudden Mohammad Faisal son of Mohammad Tazul Islam – a Muslim student of Class X residing at Shahibag Area of Savar town forcefully entered into the temple, violently kicked out Radha Krishna in front of several devotees. He also started cutting deities by a chopper.
The local ward commissioner Md.Manik Mollah informed that during continuation of pilgrimage Mohammad Faisal reached nearer to Radha Krishna and kicked out the deity, demolished and desecrated Murthi and he continuously started cutting the deity into pieces. The devotees became astonished and detained him instantly.
After this incident hundreds of devotees became agitated. Tension was prevailing amongst the Hindu devotees at Panchabati Ashram.
Police and local Awami League leaders intervened and the situation came under control. Police arrested the perpetrator and started case against him.
GHRD Dhaka instantly communicated with the local Officer-in-Charge of Savar police station, Dhaka over phone and came to know that a case has been started against him and the situation is now under control. I also enquired about why this boy demolished this Hindu deity, in reply the Officer in charge informed me that due to religious fanaticism Md. Faisal committed this offence as was committed by one journalist throwing shoes to President J. Bush during his tenure.
