The stolen idol was that of Sheetal Nath. It was around 7 inches in height and weighed around 5 kg. Tukoganj police have registered the case.
Murderous assault
Three persons who had gone for a drink at the ‘Ahata’ (drinking place next to a liquor shop) were attacked by the owners and staff of the Ahata when they entered into an altercation with them over payment.
According to information Yogesh, son of Mahendra, resident of Nanda Nagar, Manoj, son of Jagannath, and Buria, son of Navnath, both residents of Kamal Patel Ki Chawl, ran short of cash while paying bill at the ‘Ahata’. The amount was only around Rs 5, but a heated argument ensued and the owners attacked the trio with knives. All three had been hospitalised.
