A statue of Mahatma Gandhi, built under a CSR activity, was reportedly vandalised by drug addicts in Motihari.
A statue of Mahatma Gandhi was allegedly vandalised by some drug addicts on Monday in Motihari in Bihar's East Champaran district.
"Some eyewitnesses have given statements to police. A police team has been formed to nab the accused. A home guard has been deployed here," East Champaran superintendent of police Kumar Ashish was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
According to East Champaran district magistrate Shirsat Kapil Ashok, the statue was installed at Charkha Park by Power Grid Corporation under the Corporate social responsibility activity.
“Since this place was not handed over to the administration formally, we will ask them why they didn't make proper security arrangements here,” S Kapil Ashok said.
