Ullal, March 22: Two people were arrested after the overnight vandalism of a Masjid at Chembugudde near here at around 2:00 am on Tuesday.
The timely arrest prevented a possible eruption of tension in the peaceful area, according to Ullal Police Sub Inspector Manjunath, who rushed to the spot even before public gathering in front of the mosque.
Speaking to Coastaldigest.com, Manjunath said that Siyabuddin (31), hailing from Malappuram in Kerala and P Ibrahim (48), a native of Maladi near here, were taken into custody after they were caught red handed by the office bearers of the management committee of the same Masjid.
Siyabuddin, who seems to be mentally imbalanced, damaged the mosque by throwing stones to windows and doors randomly after offering namaz last night, SI said.
Quoting the representatives of the Masjid, the SI said that at around 12:00 am, locals had seen Siyabudding offering prayers in the Masjid while Ibrahim was sleeping there.
However at around 1:30 am, the mentally imbalanced man suddenly turned violent and resorted to vandalism. On hearing the noise from inside the mosque, the members of the management committee rushed there to witness the strange scene. They immediately caught both the people and informed the Ullal police, who rushed to the spot within a few minutes.
