“Vandalism in Hindu temples has now become an alarming trend in West Bengal,” Adhikari wrote. “I am requesting Shri Rajeev Kumar (IPS), DGP @WBPolice, to arrest the culprits as quickly as possible. The continuous reluctance of the WB Police in taking action against miscreants who indulge in vandalism of Sanatani temples has emboldened them to target the Sanatani community over and over again.”
