The incident comes just within days after a Muslim man identified as Mohammad Khan tried to set fire to a temple chariot in the village of V. Kalathur near Veppanthattai in the same Perambalur district.
It was reported that the Tamil Nadu police tried to mislead the case saying that the man was mentally ill.
Earlier in July 2021, miscreants had disfigured and ejaculated semen over the idol of Goddess Amman at Panchalingeswarar temple in Ranipet district. Hindu Munnani, who had previously filed a complaint about the incident, claimed that the Police Department and the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HR&CE) had failed to act on the complaints.
