Patiala, January 25
A day after the sacrilege incident at the historic Kali Mata temple here, shopkeepers observed a bandh in the area to protest even as former Union minister and Patiala MP Preneet Kaur visited the place where some religious outfits are protesting.
Police are keeping strict vigil at all religious places even as cops are urging shopkeepers to respect the sentiments of the community and close their shops. Preneet raised her concern over the attempted sacrilege incident. Urging the authorities to take firm and stern action against the culprits, Kaur who visited the temple said, these were being deliberately done to hurt the religious sentiments of people.
The accused is already arrested in this case and his interrogation is on, said senior police officers.
