Dinajpur: Unknown miscreants behead Ma Kali- Shiva Vigraha

On Friday, November 4, unidentified miscreants took away the heads of Ma Kali and Shiva Vigraha from a puja mandap in Khamarpara village of Khansama Upazila of Dinajpur district, Bangladesh.

According to the Khansama police, this incident took place in Balram Bazaar Mandap of Khamarpara Union of the Upazila on Friday night. Earlier instructions were given to all concerned about the Visarjan of the Vigraha after the Kali Puja. But the Vigraha was kept behind. Local Hindus believe that miscreants attacked and broke the Vigraha’s head sometime during midnight.
