Two arrested on the charge of desecrating Daivasthanas

The untimely death of the perpetrator is said to have driven the accused to confess

The untimely demise of the perpetrator in the desecration of Koragajja Daivasthanas, who had challenged the power of the Spirit, and his advice before his death to two of the accomplices that they admit their guilt before Koragajja, has led to the arrest of two persons by the police thereby bringing relief to thousands of Koragajja devotees. The two, Abdul Raheem and Taufeeq, were arrested on Thursday after they reportedly confessed to their guilt before Koragajja at the annual Nemotsava in Yemmekere on Wednesday night. Koragajja Daivasthanas in and around the city had witnessed dropping of condoms and blasphemous literature in their offering boxes in four instances, while one instance of defecation on a Daivasthana premises at Kankanady too was reported. The incidents had shocked devotees and they had the potential of triggering tension in the communally sensitive district.
