20 people arrested, over 150 booked in Pakistan for attack on Hindu temple

India TV News  

Police in Pakistan's Punjab province on Saturday said have arrest 20 people and booked over 150 others for their alleged involvement in an attack on a Hindu temple in a remote town of the country. Hundreds of people, carrying sticks, stones and bricks attacked the temple, burning parts of it and damaging the idols, in Bhong area of Rahimyar Khan district of the province in protest against the release by a court of an eight-year-old Hindu boy, who was arrested for allegedly urinating in a local seminary. "We have so far arrested over 20 suspects allegedly involved in attacking the temple in Bhong," District Police Officer of Rahim Yar Khan Asad Sarfraz told reporters. On Friday, Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed said that vandalism at the temple had brought shame to the country as police acted like silent spectators.
