Mangalore, Mar 22: Two youth identified as Siyabuddin, a resident of Malappuram and Ibraham of Uppinangady have been arrested on the charge of vandalizing the Chembugudde mosque in Ullal here in the wee hours of Tuesday March 22.
Speaking to Daijiworld, Ullal police sub-inspector Manjunath said that that they were taken into custody after the office-bearers of the management committee of the same mosque caught them red-handedly while pelting stone. He also suspected the duo to be of unsound mind. They have damaged the windows and doors apart from causing minor damages to the mosque building.
It is said that they opted for the bizarre action as they were not given a chance to sleep inside the mosque. The police rushed to the spot even before the public could gather at the mosque and averted any possible tense situation. Another source said that a certain union was behind this act, but police denied any such possibilities.
