Zakul Hameed (27) and Mohammed Sadiq Basha are from Kangayam, Ottapalayam. Last night, the two were sitting in-front of a private Mariamman temple and were having a conversation. Another from the locality, Thangavel, asked the two, “Why are you sitting here at this time of the night and conversing loudly?” On asking this, the two parties got into a major argument and tiff.
In the fight that ensued, the two, Zakul and Sadiq, picked up a stone from the ground, and flung it a the Mariamman mud statue that was in-front of the temple. They then fled the place. The statue was damaged because of the petty fight that followed the argument. The Kangayam Police then arrested both Zakul Hameed and Mohammed Sadiq Basha after a complaint was registered.
