Etah,

23 March (HS): An idol of Lord Shani Dev

was vandalized in Mirhachi, the second such event in a week, provoking

unrest. Pankaj Singh, the village's Pradhan,

filed a complaint. Police are

investigating and have advised residents to keep the calm and uphold

neighborhood law and order. According to

officials on Sunday, this has sparked animosity among local people. Vandalism happened on Saturday night in Datei

village, causing damage to the idol's head, hands, and mace. In response, Pankaj Singh, the village chief,

filed a complaint against unknown persons, pleading for prompt justice, while

police officials asked villagers to keep calm.

Circle Officer Sanjay Singh, Station House Officer Neeta Maheshwari, and

a large police contingent investigated the area. Singh added that this is a

serious issue that needs to be thoroughly investigated. Authorities reassure the community that

procedures are in place to maintain law and order.
