In Sindh’s Khairpur district an arson attack on a Hindu temple has been reported on Sunday evening.
The Sham Sundar Shewa Mandli Temple is located in a Hindu neighbourhood and is surrounded by around 50 to 70 houses.
Between 6pm and 6:15pm on Sunday people entered the temple and set fire to three sacred books – including as the Bhagwat Geeta and Guru Granth Sahib — and idols. Both were in separate rooms.
The fires targeted the books and idols (which were covered with flammable cloth) and did not seem to be intended to burn the entire temple down, believe members of the community. The suspects left right after setting the books and idols on fire.
The community has approached the police to register a case against unidentified persons. According to Vijay Kumar, the incharge of the temple, the police have obtained fingerprints from the temple window and taken three people into custody. An FIR has been registered, he confirmed.
Strongly condemn the attack on temple in Kunbh, Khairpur (Sindh). Reportedly, some miscreants set holy books on fire. Such incidents will harm examplery interfaith harmony of Sindh. Govt need to take action against the miscreants. pic.twitter.com/i9DEcr6M4M
