All is well in love and war, but all didn't end well for a youth in Indore who damaged a Hanuman idol in a temple when his wife refused to return home after a fight.
37-year-old Manoj Banjara would offer prayers to the Hindu God in the hope that his wife would return home. When his prayers went unanswered, the disgruntled husband damaged the idol in a fit of rage, said the police.
According to media reports, city Superintendent of Police Shashikant Kankane said, "Banjara is not in the right frame of mind. His wife had gone to her parents’ home following a tiff about four months back. According to Banjara, when he did not succeed in bringing his wife back despite all efforts, he then prayed to Lord Hanuman seeking some miracle that she may come back."
Manoj has been arrested and booked for damaging the temple idol, he added.
RSS Dharm Jagran Vibhag local unit convenor Vinod Mishra demanded a high-level investigation into the matter.
