An Indian national was arrested in connection with the vandalism of idols at Hari temple and Kali temple at Bhanga upazila in Faridpur.

Police confirmed that the accused Sanjit Biswas was presented in court on Monday following his arrest near the Kali temple on Sunday.

Sanjit Biswas, 45, hails from Nadia district in India and is son of Nishi Kanta Biswas, according to a statement released by the district police.

The incident came to light when the temple committee filed a complaint after discovering the damage on Saturday night. In response, a meeting was held on Monday afternoon at Bhanga Upazila Auditorium, where local Hindu community leaders met with Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) B.M. Kudrat-E-Khuda to discuss the situation.

Faridpur Superintendent of Police Md. Abdul Jalil revealed that during the investigation, two individuals were found near the spot. While one was identified by locals, the other, Sanjit, raised suspicions. He was taken into custody, where he alternated between speaking Bengali and Hindi.

During questioning, Sanjit eventually admitted to being an Indian national.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, according to Bhanga Police Station officer-in-charge (OC) Moksedur Rahman.
