17-year-old detained for defacing idol after failing to clear exams

Hindustan Times  

A 17-year-old boy from Tippasandra Circle in Bengaluru has been detained for allegedly defacing an idol of Lakshmi Bhuvaneshwari at a local temple on Thursday night. According to the Jeevan Bima Nagar police, the act was captured on the temple’s CCTV cameras, which showed the boy defacing the idol late in the night. Jeevan Bima Nagar police inspector N Basavaraj said, “We received a complaint from the temple authorities on Friday morning. However, his repeated failure in the SSLC exams seems to have caused significant mental distress, leading to this act.” The boy was detained and produced before the district juvenile justice board for further action.
